I'll look into ELPA, it's certainly been many years since I last considered it and it has improved massively. BTW the only intentional difference between verilog-mode on the veripool.org website and that in GNU Emacs is the version number. Any other differences are squashed with occasional merges; I merge Emacs trunk changes generally within a few days, and for merges into trunk your work is much appreciated. However it's not clear to me how ELPA helps development this as there would still two repos... How does moving to ELPA simplify the process of merging the package into Emacs trunk, is it scriped or something? Likewise how do those edits made to the package in Emacs trunk get back into the ELPA version? Feel free to just point me to some FAQ about this if there is one.
