[VM] Getting VM into emacs without superuser: emacs package manager? LinuxBrew?

[Diagon]

Hi all. I'm trying to figure out how to get VM into my emacs (ver.24) on a machine where I don't have superuser status. I'm am trying two tracks:

(1) I installed emacs using linuxbrew, and so am trying to figure out how to create/commit a formula:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/40051


(2) It would obviously be nicer if I could understand how to get it into the emacs package manager. I don't see anything here:
https://launchpad.net/vm


Can anyone help with either of these?


Thanks!

Have you looked at the INSTALL file? In tree:

https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vm/vm/trunk/view/head:/INSTALL

Packaging VM should not be necesary for usage.

Joe. Thanks for your response.

Sure I read the install, that's how I was able to generate the script that you see in the first (github) link, below. Problem is, I'll have to rerun the script (at minimum) every time there's an emacs update. I'm sure to forget and something will break. Thus, I'd optimally like it installed via the emacs package manager, or less preferably, via a homebrew/linuxbrew formula (which is how I installed emacs).


I guess I'm pretty surprised that given VM is not included in emacs, there is no obvious way to install via the package manager. (Though I'm not an expert in these things, so maybe there is ...)

You will find a downloads links on the launchpad site. You can get any of
the releases available. I don't think you need a superuser account to run
configure and make. I certainly don't.

Uday - Yes, I see your point, but as with Joe, my main concern is being missed. I would like it to be packaged because:
