That shouldn't be necessary: whenever a commit is made (by someone else than you) which touches packages/ada-mode or packges/wisi, you should receive an email with the corresponding diff. > I'm not clear on how to "put a package on an external branch" (yes, I > have read Stefan's posts on that; they are too cryptic), but perhaps I > should try that. - Push the tree you want onto a branch `externals/' in the `elpa' repository. - Remove the packages/ directory in the `master' branch. - Edit `externals-list' in the `master' branch. That should be mostly it. Stefan
