Ok, I've had a look at Gelpa's admin/archive-contents.el, and I think this can be done without introducing complexity. Right now, it is structured more or less like this: 1. Read information from package headers; 2. Do some stuff with that information, one of which is to generate the -pkg.el file. Ideally, it would be reworked like this: 1. If absent, generate the -pkg.el file from the package headers (this is the only moment where package headers would be read); 2. Read information from the -pkg.el file; 3. Do some stuff with that information. That said, I can't be the one to do it for the foreseeable future. Therefore, unless someone else steps up, the quickest way to get any of the aforementioned packages on Gelpa is for them to comply with the current framework. Cheers, Artur
