Heavy inputs from emacs-ci

[terlar]

I tried using this, but noticed it pulled in all the dependencies from emacs-ci, which includes all Emacs versions. I wonder if this could use some pattern like the dev only inputs, either via flake-parts partitions or directly via flake-compat. Or perhaps the workaround is to use flake = false when using this.

This flake is primarily intended for use in Emacs Lisp CI, so it depends on all of the Emacs versions. For now, I don't care much about the extensive list of inputs printed on terminal. I don't want to add a dependency on a utility library like flake-parts.

It would be a good idea to add default.nix to allow non-flake importing. What is your use case?

I was going to use it with twist initialLibraries. But in the end I don't think I needed it, savannah had some connectivity issues, so I was thinking to get rid of the dependency completely. In the end my emacs src still came from there, so I used the github mirror and thus could still use the non-specified initialLibraries. I saw you were using initialLibraries specified both in the example in the twist lib and in your own emacs-config. But do you suggest not using it and rely on the emacs package itself (e.g. the default behavior)?

Ah, yes, I am using the builtins indirectly by importing another flake as a non-flake. I am using it to avoid IFD. I didn't mean to recommend it, but I am not discouraging from using it either. I don't know what would be the most sophisticated way.

I also provide a set of mirrors for the savannah repositories, which I am using in my config. Feel free to use it.
