changing it to git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git solved it (looks like they are not available using http anymore)

change it in .gitmodules before calling git submodules init OR

change it in .git/config when you already called git submodules init

after that, just call git submodules update and it should work

When Emacs is customized using the customization buffer (M-x customize), the modified settings are saved in ~/.emacs.d/custom.el.

This file is loaded in starter-kit.org, see:
* Implementation
** Starter kit basics
*** Starter Kit Customizations

However, many settings like espresso-indent-level and whitespace-style are later overwritten when other parts of emacs-starter-kit are loaded, see:
* Implementation
** Starter kit basics
*** Load the rest of the starter kit core

The following output

jeffreyhorn@hook:~/src/emacs-starter-kit 2011-01-11 01:48:07 git:master

is likely due to the org-mode repo being moved. Please update the submodule reference to git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git.

Running =git submodule zenburn-emacs= from the root of the repo generates the following message:

jeffreyhorn@hook:~/.emacs.d 2011-01-05 13:54:11 git:master
>> git submodule zenburn-emacs
error: pathspec 'zenburn-emacs' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?

Should I be checking out the submodule in a different way?

On my Ubuntu 10.04 box, package-load-all-descriptors failed when it encountered ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives which was created when running Emacs with emacs-starter-kit in ~/.emacs.d for the first time.

I removed ~/.emacs and ~/.emacs.d before installing emacs-starter-kit.

Removing ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives seems to make the error go away and not break anything else. It isn't re-created anymore, but there's an ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archive-contents instead, and that doesn't cause errors on start-up.

This is emacs-snapshot 20090909-1 on Ubuntu 10.04:
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of 2009-09-27 on palmer, modified by Debian

starttls is not available on recent versions of Ubuntu due to security concerns.

idle-highlight not available for installation.

I'm running ubntu 10.10 32 bit. emacs 23

thanks

I followed the installation in http://eschulte.github.com/emacs-starter-kit/#installation

when I ran make, I got the following message:

End of file during parsing
make: *** [lisp/org-install.el] Error -1

I don't know when or how this broke. I neglected to look at the manual version number after you made the last change to how the src/org/doc directory is added to the Info path.

The org info manual says:
This manual is for Org version 6.33x.

The contents of the src/org/doc/org.texi file indicates
jeffreyhorn@hook:~/.emacs.d 2011-01-13 23:05:28 git:master
>> grep 'VERSION' src/org/doc/org.texi
@set VERSION 7.4
This manual is for Org version @value{VERSION}.
@subtitle Release @value{VERSION}

So, the manual seems to be loaded in the wrong place. Info-directory-list is set to

    ("/Users/jeffreyhorn/.emacs.d/src/org/doc"
    "/Users/jeffreyhorn/.emacs.d/src/org/doc" "~/Library/Application
    Support/Emacs/info" "/Library/Application Support/Emacs/info"

    "/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/aquamacs/edit-modes/info"

    "/usr/local/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/lib/info/"
    "/usr/local/lib/emacs/info/" "/usr/share/info/")

where some entries are repeated because I load the init file twice when using Aquamacs (it gets rid of a bit of startup wonkiness).

I've worked on this for a bit and it has been driving me bonkers. Any idea what might be causing the issue?

EDIT: Note, the wrong version is also loaded in terminal emacs. Emacs 23.2 says:
This manual is for Org-mode (version 4.67).

Info-directory-list is
("/Users/jeffreyhorn/.emacs.d/src/org/doc"
"/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/23.2/share/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/"
"/usr/local/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/lib/info/"
"/usr/local/gnu/lib/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/emacs/info/"
"/usr/local/lib/info/" "/usr/local/lib/emacs/info/" "/usr/share/info/"
"/usr/lib/info/")

Eric,

I've fixed the issue, but I'm new to git and when I try to push the change I made, I receive a "return code 22" error after logging in. Any ideas?

Jeff

Commit 90cf76f adds support for Python. It requires cython-mode which isn't included.

Googling for "cython-mode" does find multiple source code repositories and mailing list attachments. It would be good if emacs-starter-kit made a choice between them and included it by default.

The version of packages.el talks to the official gnu.org version (version 1.0) of the elpa. This version doesn't have the packages the starter kit wants to install.

Many of the packages in starter-kit-elpa.org are not on the elpa.gnu.org yet and thus throw errors on a new install.

Using packages.el from http://tromey.com/elpa/package.el fixes this problem. (It can be updated using package-install packages)
