I suggest to move the below part to: To install all the packages "in
place".
just a suggestion :-)
#+BEGIN_COMMENT
You can check out all the external packages into the `packages' directory
with the command:
make externals
You can check out a specific external PACKAGE into the `packages'
directory with these commands:
cd packages
git worktree add PACKAGE externals/PACKAGE
If you already have a packages/PACKAGE directory with a previous
checkout, you can update it like this:
cd packages/PACKAGE
git pull
