Right then. We can close this I guess. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

🤔 what would be the actual benefit? since any sufficiently fancy emacs setup uses melpa packages anyway, at least that's what i see around me
(fwiw, without referring to anyone in particular, in general i don't consider emacs "upstream" a particularly welcoming environment, and i don't look forward to using inconvenient outdated development processes and interacting with gnu zealots.)

The actual benefit would be that without adding extra configuration (e.g., enabling MELPA) one could install your package right away.

FWIW, yours is the only MELPA package I am using right now. :)

that nongnu elpa thing is not (yet?) enabled by default so using it seems the same amount of effort as using melpa.
that said, i agree with the sentiment here.

anyway, fine with me if someone who is not me submits my packages (i wrote many!) elsewhere and (automagically) keeps them up-to-date (like melpa), but i don't see myself spending any effort on it

@phikal thanks, automagic updates look good. do i understand correctly that this auto-updating works like melpa stable? so not git main
(like melpa unstable), but explicit version? do git tags matter? or is it the version in the .el
file?
reason for the above questions is that i do not want to take extra effort to update stuff in various repos that redistribute my packages. git push/tag and keeping a version number up-to-date is fine of course, but i will not be pinging people or sending emails etc.
re license: this package is BSD, direnv itself is MIT. this package has a clear and narrow scope, namely direnv and emacs, both of which are foss, so i guess this is fine.
however, let it be clear that i will not let people whose (often bad) opinions i don't care about (rms comes to mind in particular) tell me in any way what i can or cannot write in my own readme etc. i don't buy the ‘unethical’ and ‘moral issue’ nonsense rhetoric, and i will not be dragged in that direction either.
that said, i guess i agree with you that this is a non-issue here.

So you are fine with adding the package to NonGNU ELPA?
sure, now that i know it doesn't create busywork for me, ship it. 🚀
re readme vs .el
: i don't know of a nice solution here. copy/pasting stuff increases maintenance load, and a properly rendered readme on github etc is more useful in the end.
