For some packages, that repo gets updated automatically from an outside repo. For a package that is updated automatically like that, I think it is best to use the outside repo. When the NonGNU ELPA repo for the package is NOT updated automatically, I think this should use the NonGNU ELPA repo. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
