Xi can download an old tarball from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ada-mode.html, but package.el doesn't provide a function to install from that. Is there some simple combination of functions that will work? -- -- Stephe ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

There's `package-install-file` and `package-install-from-buffer`, both of which should do the trick (barring bugs: they're not often tested).
