Discussion is about one package I am using personally for version control. Its requirement is package `emacs-libpq'. Once `emacs-libpq' is in ELPA, there will be new packages for ELPA based on it. This package that I use now is `rcd-vc' that provides version control based on database backend. I find it naive yet, but it works for my personal needs. It will improve. People may use any kinds of version control names or numbers and not only for Emacs Lisp. I am moving this email to emacs-devel, from gnu-hhelp-emacs emacs-libpq is package that should come to ELPA, authors have already agreed on it, I think they would need help from developers, some assistance on how to provide package to ELPA. It is very significant package as it provides module for PostgreSQL database. Link: https://github.com/anse1/emacs-libpq Please see the issue: https://github.com/anse1/emacs-libpq/issues/12 They agreed. Recently before few months, they wrote on the mailing list. Both of them said to have sent copyright assignments. Can you verify it? Can you help that package get included? -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
