* Emacs Configuration

I finally decided that keeping my Emacs configuration together with
all the other common configuration files comes close to blasphemy so I
split it from the main dotfiles repo.

Seriously managing emacs through symlinks works but in the spirit of
less is more just doing a

#+BEGIN_SRC shell 
git clone forgejo@forge.snamellit.com:pti/emacs-config ~/.config/emacs
#+END_SRC

And then maintaining the files directly over there is easier than it
being part of all the other stuff.

Of course _easier_ is in the eye of the beholder at the time of
observation. In practice it are all diffferent trade-offs. I think
this setup will also make it easier to package up my emacs config as a
GUIX package for distribution over my PCs. 

This config also needs [[https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs][Crafted Emacs]] as a base :

#+BEGIN_SRC shell 
  git clone https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs.git ~/.local/share/crafted-emacs
#+END_SRC


* TODOS

** DONE Check out Crafted Emacs

This configuration relies on crafted emacs being checked out in
*~/.local/share/crafted-emacs* .

This is graciously provided by my dotfiles system but this might
better move to emacs itself during initial bootstrapping, ie checking
whether the folder exists/is up-to-date when tangling to limit effect
on startup speed. 

** TODO Warn if the current copy is stale.
Since I forget everything unless prompted, getting a prompt when there
is a new version waiting to be pulled might be useful.
I can probably get inspiration from crafted emacs.

** TODO package as a guix package
It would be nice to update the emacs config when doing a `guix home
reconfigure`.
