Are > packages duplicated across ELPA and MELPA? If so, why? Some are duplicated, others not. I expect any user who has MELPA to have ELPA as well, so duplication isn't necessary to reach everyone. One difference is that by default, MELPA builds a package for every push to the master branch of your git repository, while ELPA requires an update to the version field of the package header. > Once Emms is available on ELPA, people who want Emacs' package manager > to install it will have it available.

It wouldn't matter much, I think; but since MELPA uses commit date as its version numbers, people who use both repos would by default get the newer builds from your git repository. > If there is some technical issue that would stop MELPA users from > getting it from ELPA, then perhaps we could organize a way for the ELPA > maintained copy be mirrored to MELPA.

Well, publishing to MELPA doesn't really require any maintenance, as evidenced by 8 years and 50k downloads ^^ > Thank you for all of your patience as I'm learning this. Thanks for your dedication and for developing emms.
