Does elpa cron auto call "make external" or similar process to check out all the external packages? 2. If cron auto checkout external packages, does package author need manual-checkout? 3. Does subtree method have any advanced than external branch? if no, what about obsolote this method? In my opinion, subtree seem to very hard to manage. 4. I use subtree to manage posframe package, but I want to switch to external branch method, how to work? what about create a subtree2external command? --
