But is this "just" an aesthetic issues, or does it break something? If the former, I'd say that this is a regrettable circumstance, but not much can be done. If actual, usability issues arise, then that is a different matter. >>> At the end I have two directories, ..elpa/helm-core and >>> ../elpa/helm-core-2023..., the former containing all the helm files and >>> the second only the helm-core files. >> >> I am afraid this is the consequence of maintaining multiple packages >> inside the same git repository/directory. > > Ok, but this is something that exists and is handy for the developer. I understand that, but my hope is that this we can dissuade developers from using it, because of issues like these. Feats such as these have been achieved in the past, like with the usage of derived modes or the standardisation of package headers. Note that this doesn't mean you have to use separate Git repositories. You can continue working in a single repository on multiple branches, that are simultaneously checked out in separate worktrees. >> Given the intentions of package-vc, to make contributing to packages >> easier by giving users a direct checkout of the development >> dependencies, I currently do not see a way around this issue :/ > > Perhaps look at how straight works (it fetch the recipes from package > site i.e. MElpa or Elpa)? As far as I know, their approach is not applicable (they check out the repository in a separate directory, then symlink the files into a separate directory that it then loaded -- which doesn't give the users a direct checkout anymore), because they have different goals. Keep in mind that straight is package manager onto itself, while package-vc is an extension of package.el, so comparing the two doesn't always work out. >>> Thanks. >>> >>> >>> >>> In GNU Emacs 29.1
