Logview dependency is not available on NonGNU ELPA

[bbatsov]

I just noticed that the ELPA CIDER build is broken because logview (https://github.com/doublep/logview) is actually only MELPA. I was under the impression this was some built-in package or whatever - I guess I misread something. Now we'll have to submit it in short order to NonGNU ELPA to fix the build there (a patch needs to be sent to the Emacs devel mailing list).

@doublep Can you please help with this, as usually they prefer those patches to come from the package maintainers?

Maybe, but I don't know what I should do...

[bbatsov]

@doublep It's super simple - I wrote an article about the process a while ago https://emacsredux.com/blog/2021/08/11/submitting-a-package-to-nongnu-elpa/

Well, OK, I'll try, but note that Logview itself has some dependencies not available on NonGNU...

paul@gonzo:~/logview$ eldev dtree
logview 0.16.3snapshot
    datetime 0.6.1    [0.7.2 installed]
        extmap 1.1.1    [1.2.1 installed]
    extmap 1.0    [1.2.1 installed]

I guess I'll have to start with extmap and work my way up then?

[bbatsov]

@doublep Yeah, all the deps need to be there. Generally it's fine to submit all of them in a single PR.

[bbatsov]

@doublep Any progress here?

[doublep]

You saw as much as I did, it was basically ignored. Since I hate Emacs-devel anyway, I'm not going to ping it or argue with them when they say that ten things have to be reimplemented or "why had you do it like this and not like that", sorry.

[bbatsov]

That's fine, I know what you mean. Not the biggest fan of emacs-devel, but I've learned to endure there. :D

Nice! It's good there are people like Stefan to help out with things like these.

Nice! Thanks @doublep and @bbatsov for making it happen
