Thanks for getting this included; I'm excited about moving it forward. I think I may have miscommunicated at some point; it looks like the version in Emacs right now is based on the one at tromey.com rather than my version from git that has had several bugfixes applied to it. I can try to replay the bugfixes in my branch on top of the version in Emacs, but it will probably be easier to apply your changes on top of mine. Am I correct in assuming that most of the changes were around adding the package-hold-alist variable? I will try to perform the merge and submit a patch that brings it up to dat= e. -Phil
