Since 2015 there were talks in MELPA about depreciating all 'emacswiki' packages because "anyone can edit your package(s) on the Emacswiki and that poses a security risk".

Finally on 24 Jan, @milkipostman "inadvertently deleted all emacswiki packages", which was probably a good thing.

The problem is that I'm very fond of 'hideshowvis', and I have an automated emacs install that is failing because hideshowvis can't be found (obviously I'm installing it by hand).

Could you add this library to MELPA (or ELPA)?

Planning to do that at some time. I think the reason it’s not there yet was that Melpa required tests for the package. I’m travelling right now so won’t get around to do this too soon, though

MELPA does not requires tests for your package. You only have to fork the project, add a recipe for your package and send a pull request. I sent a package called 'redtick' and they even gave me some advice about it.

Your recipe will be something like this:

(hideshowvis :fetcher github :repo "sheijk/hideshowvis")

The only thing they ask you to test, is the build process before sending the pull request: adding your recipe to the forked MELPA, and running make recipes/hideshowvis

I did the same thing, and I'm not even a heavy Lisper. I'll second that this needs to be in MELPA.

bumping this, I can't figure out how to install this so having the package on MELPA would help

Wanted to install this, but it's available only on marmalade, which https certificate expired.

Maybe instead of uploading to Melpa contribute the code to the hideshow.el directly? It seem to be a good built in feature. And will probably make it easier to maintain the package later as part of Emacs which hideshow.el already is.
