I see there's an elpa-packages file in the ELPA Git repo pointing to the sources for each package, which is definitely a format that Nix can work with. A few questions, just to be sure: 1) When does a commit to the package's repo generate a new release on ELPA? (every commit triggers a release?) 2) Are there "exceptions" to the list in elpa-packages? That is, if a package's repo is listed nil in elpa-packages, is it guaranteed that a branch will exist for that package in ELPA's Git repo? Thanks, Mauricio
