It needlessly complicates the setup, and you are more likely fall foul to the infamous mixed install issue. Yes, I am aware of the risk factor. I add the dev version org-mode lisp/ dir to the very top in the `load-path` array. So as long as a package is found in the dev version lisp/ dir, emacs will not try to hunt for those in the package manager installed org-plus-contrib dir. So only the contrib/ area packages end up being picked from the org-plus-contrib. I am using this mixed installation for few months now without any problem. That said, now that I know of local.mk, I know what to do if this setup starts giving me trouble! -- Kaushal Modi On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 9:16 AM, Suvayu Ali wrote: > On Mon, Oct 05, 2015 at 08:46:33AM -0400, Kaushal Modi wrote: > > > My only question is the contrib directory.
