Allow reviewing packages before installation

The recent commit below by Philip makes me proud to be part of the #Emacs community. Part of what makes Emacs special is that not only it is distributed under a #FreeSoftware license, but it also works hard to make it easy for you to take advantage of that power, best evidenced by the way a simple mouse click after M-x describe-key puts you right there in the source code, ready to change the behavior of that key.

Now this is extended to encourage you to participate in code reviews of the packages you use. I hope you will make good use of it, both to get to know your tools better, and to participate more meaningfully in their evolution.

Just ordered some stickers from the @fsfe ready for #Ilovefs day on Feb 14th. I will be at the #STEAM café in Paignton on the day to make them available. Let's make 2026 a good year for free software. Given the changes in Europe and the move to Free and Open Source software, created by the EU for the EU we need to ensure people are aware of, what FLOSS is, why we need it, why we need digital sovereignty and ensure people can learn the skills they need for this transition.

In less then an hour, there will be blood. Mostly alien blood in pixel art glory (gory?). Join me in the chat for some side discussion about #Linux or whatever.

@fsf @fsfe
Iran has been pushed into digital silence.
With internet and communications cut, repression happens unseen and unreported.
A large Free Software community inside Iran is now isolated and at risk.

Digital freedom saves lives. Please stand with us and amplify our voices.

I’ve just learned that you can order a free pack of open-source printed promotional materials from the @fsfe (Free Software Foundation Europe) website. Stickers, flyers, good things—at no cost.

Spread the word!
