Currently packages are basically installed into the `elpa' branch as is. We could give you write access there so you can install updates and even use it as your official repository. But maybe we should come up with a plan so we can give separate branches per-package rather than one big branch with all the packages in it, so as to make it easier for package maintainers to manage their packages. > If it's OK with you, it would probably be easier for me to package > undo-tree first, to get the hang of things, as it's a single-file > package.

Single-file packages are trivial to package. As for your avl-tree.el changes, I've just installed them. Thanks, Stefan
