Jean, did you read my question? I am asking how to avoid this problem you are reiterating. To make my question more explicit: Why is ELPA not automatically converting README.org to README.txt and using it on the ELPA website? Stefan Monnier advised me to not make generated files part of the repository. Originally, I generated a vertico.texi file from the README.org. Fortunately the ELPA build process is doing that automatically for me now. It would be great if the same build step could be used for the website. Daniel
