Yes, sounds as predicted. Thanks for the anser.
Any thoughts of enabling non gnu elpa, and package.el to deal with packages in a
similar fashon as AUR and I guess similar solutions from other distros. What I
think of is that people could submit just build recipes into gnu elpa, without
tar-ed sources. Just the URLs or sources and the way to fetch/build and install
a package. Isn't it what el-get already does?
That could open for 3rd party "maintainers" to contribute a script to install a
package without the burden on package authors.
I guess anyone can clone "nelpa" and add someone elses package, but I am not sure
how polite that would be considered. Maybe I am wrong, maybe it is just me, but
I have a feeling that it is a custom practice for elpa/nelpa/melpa that authors
themselves sumbit packages.
