I agree. Please report it as a bug (aka feature-request).. >> There's gotta be a better way. > We are open to suggestions. I think you can: Add (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("RSW-Packages" . "http://www.plasmas.biz/rswe/") t) to the .emacs and then do M-x package-refresh-contents RET M-x package-install RET hyperbole RET And I think you should also be able to do: M-x url-handler-mode RET M-x package-install-from-file RET http://www.plasmas.biz/rswe/hyperbole-.tar RET And I'd argue that we should add something like M-x package-install-from-archive RET http://www.plasmas.biz/rswe RET hyperbole RET -- Stefan
