-hello I'm richard stallman
-
-0:00:03.280,0:00:09.200
-founder of the gnu project in 1976 I
-
-0:00:08.080,0:00:12.000
-developed the first
-
-0:00:09.200,0:00:13.440
-Emacs editor with some help from guy
-
-0:00:12.000,0:00:15.839
-steele
-
-0:00:13.440,0:00:19.119
-then shortly after starting to develop
-
-0:00:15.839,0:00:22.240
-the gnu operating system in 1984
-
-0:00:19.119,0:00:24.640
-I wanted an Emacs editor for it
-
-0:00:22.240,0:00:25.560
-so I started writing gnu Emacs in
-
-0:00:24.640,0:00:28.560
-september
-
-0:00:25.560,0:00:28.560
-1984.
-
-0:00:29.519,0:00:35.920
-several years ago we decided to move
-
-0:00:32.640,0:00:36.559
-many of the Emacs list packages outside
-
-0:00:35.920,0:00:39.760
-the core
-
-0:00:36.559,0:00:42.960
-Emacs distribution into a separate
-
-0:00:39.760,0:00:43.280
-package archive that we call the e-max
-
-0:00:42.960,0:00:46.480
-list
-
-0:00:43.280,0:00:48.719
-package arc elpa
-
-0:00:46.480,0:00:51.520
-there were two main reasons for this one
-
-0:00:48.719,0:00:54.320
-is to make the emax distribution smaller
-
-0:00:51.520,0:00:55.680
-so every user wouldn't have to get all
-
-0:00:54.320,0:00:58.320
-the packages
-
-0:00:55.680,0:01:00.480
-and install all the packages and the
-
-0:00:58.320,0:01:01.520
-other reason was to make it possible to
-
-0:01:00.480,0:01:04.559
-release
-
-0:01:01.520,0:01:08.320
-individual packages separately
-
-0:01:04.559,0:01:08.320
-from Emacs releases
-
-0:01:08.880,0:01:17.040
-now at that point somehow we decided to
-
-0:01:13.119,0:01:19.520
-support loading packages from
-
-0:01:17.040,0:01:21.119
-a variety of different Emacs list
-
-0:01:19.520,0:01:25.520
-package archives
-
-0:01:21.119,0:01:29.280
-and ours would be called the gnu elpa
-
-0:01:25.520,0:01:32.079
-but elpa could be any other
-
-0:01:29.280,0:01:32.799
-now I think that naming was a mistake we
-
-0:01:32.079,0:01:35.119
-should have
-
-0:01:32.799,0:01:37.759
-meant we should have decided that elpa
-
-0:01:35.119,0:01:39.759
-referred to our package archive
-
-0:01:37.759,0:01:42.479
-and any other package archive should be
-
-0:01:39.759,0:01:46.079
-called some other name
-
-0:01:42.479,0:01:48.320
-oh well uh this
-
-0:01:46.079,0:01:50.240
-is a mistake I believe because it leads
-
-0:01:48.320,0:01:51.119
-to a lot of confusion it would have been
-
-0:01:50.240,0:01:55.759
-clearer
-
-0:01:51.119,0:01:59.600
-if we had uh used the other naming
-
-0:01:55.759,0:02:00.399
-because the difference between having a
-
-0:01:59.600,0:02:04.159
-package in
-
-0:02:00.399,0:02:07.840
-core Emacs and having it in gnu elpa
-
-0:02:04.159,0:02:09.679
-is purely a practical convenience matter
-
-0:02:07.840,0:02:12.000
-convenience of distribution and
-
-0:02:09.679,0:02:14.879
-convenience of maintenance
-
-0:02:12.000,0:02:16.800
-we wanted to be able to move packages
-
-0:02:14.879,0:02:20.160
-between the two
-
-0:02:16.800,0:02:21.200
-whenever that was convenient so to make
-
-0:02:20.160,0:02:23.200
-that possible
-
-0:02:21.200,0:02:26.319
-we insisted on getting copyright
-
-0:02:23.200,0:02:28.800
-assignments for packages in gnu elpa
-
-0:02:26.319,0:02:31.360
-just the same way we do for packages in
-
-0:02:28.800,0:02:33.760
-core Emacs
-
-0:02:31.360,0:02:36.239
-having the facility for installing
-
-0:02:33.760,0:02:39.440
-packages from package archives
-
-0:02:36.239,0:02:42.239
-led to a tremendous boost in the
-
-0:02:39.440,0:02:44.879
-development and release of emax packages
-
-0:02:42.239,0:02:46.560
-unfortunately there was a problem with
-
-0:02:44.879,0:02:49.120
-the way that was done
-
-0:02:46.560,0:02:50.000
-for the most part the developers of
-
-0:02:49.120,0:02:52.480
-these packages
-
-0:02:50.000,0:02:53.599
-wouldn't even tell us about them they
-
-0:02:52.480,0:02:56.720
-posted them
-
-0:02:53.599,0:02:58.480
-in another package archive where we
-
-0:02:56.720,0:03:02.000
-didn't know about them
-
-0:02:58.480,0:03:03.120
-and where they no attempt was made to
-
-0:03:02.000,0:03:06.560
-try to fit them
-
-0:03:03.120,0:03:10.879
-into Emacs so that they could make sense
-
-0:03:06.560,0:03:14.480
-as parts of the Emacs distribution
-
-0:03:10.879,0:03:16.959
-this led to both moral problems
-
-0:03:14.480,0:03:19.599
-packages that depended on non-free
-
-0:03:16.959,0:03:22.159
-software in order to be usable
-
-0:03:19.599,0:03:24.319
-and technical problems because the
-
-0:03:22.159,0:03:26.159
-developers of those packages didn't
-
-0:03:24.319,0:03:29.519
-coordinate with us
-
-0:03:26.159,0:03:33.040
-about how to make it useful and
-
-0:03:29.519,0:03:36.000
-convenient and clean to have them
-
-0:03:33.040,0:03:36.000
-in Emacs
-
-0:03:36.560,0:03:44.840
-so the idea of non-gdu elpa
-
-0:03:41.120,0:03:48.319
-is an effort to smooth these things
-
-0:03:44.840,0:03:51.680
-out the fundamental plan of
-
-0:03:48.319,0:03:54.480
-non-gnu eopa is that
-
-0:03:51.680,0:03:56.159
-we won't ask for copyright assignments
-
-0:03:54.480,0:03:58.560
-for those packages
-
-0:03:56.159,0:04:00.000
-so we won't be able to put them into
-
-0:03:58.560,0:04:04.080
-core Emacs
-
-0:04:00.000,0:04:06.959
-at least not easily but we will
-
-0:04:04.080,0:04:09.200
-have some control over how we distribute
-
-0:04:06.959,0:04:09.200
-them
-
-0:04:09.519,0:04:15.439
-we can put any package into
-
-0:04:12.640,0:04:16.320
-non-gnu elpa as long as it's free
-
-0:04:15.439,0:04:19.440
-software
-
-0:04:16.320,0:04:23.360
-if we like it we can
-
-0:04:19.440,0:04:25.919
-set up that way for users to get it
-
-0:04:23.360,0:04:26.720
-we could put the package in exactly as
-
-0:04:25.919,0:04:29.919
-it is
-
-0:04:26.720,0:04:32.160
-if there's no problem at all with it
-
-0:04:29.919,0:04:34.160
-we can make an arrangement with the
-
-0:04:32.160,0:04:38.000
-packages developers
-
-0:04:34.160,0:04:40.880
-to work on it with us and maintain it
-
-0:04:38.000,0:04:42.560
-directly for distribution by non-gdu
-
-0:04:40.880,0:04:45.280
-elpa
-
-0:04:42.560,0:04:46.080
-but if they are not interested we can
-
-0:04:45.280,0:04:49.680
-put it in
-
-0:04:46.080,0:04:52.000
-ourselves and if we need to make any
-
-0:04:49.680,0:04:55.120
-changes we can do so
-
-0:04:52.000,0:04:59.040
-so non-gnu elpa
-
-0:04:55.120,0:05:01.360
-is not meant to be just a way
-
-0:04:59.040,0:05:02.720
-that others can distribute their
-
-0:05:01.360,0:05:05.039
-packages
-
-0:05:02.720,0:05:06.000
-it's meant at least in a minimal
-
-0:05:05.039,0:05:10.479
-technical
-
-0:05:06.000,0:05:12.800
-sense to work with gnu Emacs and we'll
-
-0:05:10.479,0:05:14.240
-make changes if necessary so that it
-
-0:05:12.800,0:05:18.080
-works smoothly with
-
-0:05:14.240,0:05:18.080
-Emacs and
-
-0:05:18.720,0:05:23.280
-this means that we're going to maintain
-
-0:05:22.160,0:05:27.600
-it differently
-
-0:05:23.280,0:05:29.759
-from gnu elpa well gnu elpa
-
-0:05:27.600,0:05:31.520
-is hosted in a way that is actually
-
-0:05:29.759,0:05:35.600
-rather inconvenient
-
-0:05:31.520,0:05:38.639
-it is one single git repository
-
-0:05:35.600,0:05:39.039
-and so anybody that has access to write
-
-0:05:38.639,0:05:42.560
-it
-
-0:05:39.039,0:05:44.639
-can write any part of it there are many
-
-0:05:42.560,0:05:46.080
-different packages in there maintained
-
-0:05:44.639,0:05:48.080
-by different people
-
-0:05:46.080,0:05:50.960
-and we have no way to give each one of
-
-0:05:48.080,0:05:54.720
-them access to per own package
-
-0:05:50.960,0:05:58.400
-and not to the others well with non-gnu
-
-0:05:54.720,0:05:59.440
-elpa we plan to fix that the idea is to
-
-0:05:58.400,0:06:02.479
-have
-
-0:05:59.440,0:06:05.600
-a single git repository where you can
-
-0:06:02.479,0:06:08.800
-download various packages from
-
-0:06:05.600,0:06:10.800
-but they won't be maintained there each
-
-0:06:08.800,0:06:14.080
-of those packages will be
-
-0:06:10.800,0:06:15.280
-copied automatically from some other
-
-0:06:14.080,0:06:18.800
-place
-
-0:06:15.280,0:06:21.759
-probably some other repository where
-
-0:06:18.800,0:06:22.960
-the right people have access to work on
-
-0:06:21.759,0:06:26.479
-it
-
-0:06:22.960,0:06:28.160
-and this way we can avoid giving a
-
-0:06:26.479,0:06:32.000
-gigantic number of people
-
-0:06:28.160,0:06:32.000
-access to every part of it
-
-0:06:32.240,0:06:40.479
-so far non-gnu elpa is just a plan
-
-0:06:37.039,0:06:43.280
-we need people to implement the plan
-
-0:06:40.479,0:06:45.120
-so if you would like to help please
-
-0:06:43.280,0:06:47.759
-write to me
-
-0:06:45.120,0:06:49.520
-I think this is a very important step
-
-0:06:47.759,0:06:52.639
-for progress
-
-0:06:49.520,0:06:57.919
-and it's got to be implemented
-
-0:06:52.639,0:06:57.919
-thanks and happy hacking
-
