I understand that ELPA has per-package structure, but there's no requirement for this to be a physical mapping. As long as we know which files within EMACS corresponding to the package files within the EPLA package, this is sufficient. So, if the mapping of EPLA-tree to Emacs-tree is not obvious by convention, we could introduce a file to provide that mapping. It's doesn't need to be either-or, simply because of current physical mappings. ELPA/foo/foo.el ELPA/foo/doc/foo.doc could virtually map to: EMACS/lisp/foo.el EMACS/doc/foo.doc by convention. Or more complex scenarios by a mapping file. Since we have a full programming language at our behest, there is no limit to our organizational capabilities. :) -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
