I don't understand what you mean by *installation*. The reason I want a local ELPA archive is precisely to test that M-x list-packages followed by install does the right thing with my package under development. If I want to install another package from ELPA in ~/.emacs.d, I'll use the web access to ELPA. You seem to be saying I should just create the .elc files in the git workspace, and point to that in my .emacs, bypassing the 'package' mechanisms; I don't see how that is useful. -- -- Stephe
