Even though Fedora probably is kinda popular among developers, it sometimes baffles me what is and what isn't packaged in Fedora.

I mean come on, how is it possible that there's no meson mode packaged for emacs on Fedora?

I mean, it's pretty obvious: if Fedora wants to be taken seriously as a developer platform, I think it's pretty obvious that this is a glaring omission, like no other! 🤓

@pid_eins Maybe they assume you'll get it from MELPA?

@jamesh it doesn't show up in melpa if I do M-x package-list-packages however… Seems MELPA is hosed on Fedora Emacs?

@pid_eins You'd need to enable the MELPA repository manually (MELPA is basically packages that aren't in the GNU-controlled ELPA repository for some reason).

There is sample config to enable it on https://melpa.org/#/getting-started

@jamesh ah, indeed. thanks. that worked.

didn't realize the difference between those repositories...

ELPA seems kinda useless though? requires copyright assignment, uh? what is this, 1995? but meh, sounds like something typically gnu...

@pid_eins Even weirder is that for years they've been busily packaging a broken weird gcc 68K fork not the real thing - not that packaging any 68K gcc is probably a high demand feature.
