In this context: 1. Who acts as a janitor for the elpa repository. 2. How does one upload packages - a mail drop to the maintainer, remote update from within emacs - scp, ftp etc etc . (Is package-x.el's package-upload-buffer and related configuration documented somewhere.) 3. Does the package manager expect that builtin packages be versioned in a special way. For example, can the stable release be called 7.0.1 while a daily snapshot be called 20101008? 4. Any general guidelines on what packages would be accepted there and how often an update can happen. Are daily snapshots allowed. Jambunathan K.
