There are no real rules, here, other than the fact that elpa.git may be modified by us directly, so if the maintainer decides to keep the "upstream" elsewhere it's his responsibility to deal with the fallout [ We try to help with that by automatically sending her an email with the diffs that have been installed, tho this automatic forwarding is currently broken, as mentioned earlier in this thread: > - when someone commits to elpa.git we get an elpa-diffs email which > I used to then forward to the corresponding package maintainer. > This forwarding is currently broken because of changes to my > email server. This should really be done in elpa.gnu.org instead of > iro.umontreal.ca anyway, so I don't intend to fix the old setup. Help would be very warmly welcome here. ] More generally: it's not ideas that are missing, it's people helping improve the setup. Stefan
