how to shadow a library from elpa

how to shadow a library from elpa

[Seweryn Kokot]

Hello,

I see that all elpa packages are at the beginning of load-path variable, however
I need for a single library to be earlier in the load-path and to shadow the
elpa package of the same name. How to do it in my .emacs file?

Thanks in advance,
Seweryn

There is an option to disable packages with

    M-x customize-variable RET package-load-list RET

Thanks, unfortunately it didn't helped in my case.
I tried (setq package-load-list '((popup nil) all))
but another package (auto-complete) requires popup-0.5 package from
the elpa repository, so auto-complete is not loaded either.

I solved the problem using after-init-hook and forced to reload
popup.el library and left package-load-list as it is by default. It's
not elegant but at least it works.

P.S. I meant to send this message to gmane.emacs.help, sorry.
