This is not a good test. For example, if the developer forgets to add
a file to elpa.git, this test will pass, but a true install will fail
(happened to me recently).
I use these make targets to build a package-archive that package.el can
use and install from it:
build-elpa : force
rm -rf ../../elpa/archive-tmp
mkdir -p ../../elpa/archive-tmp/packages
cp -a ../../elpa/packages/ada-mode ../../elpa/archive-tmp/packages
cp -a ../../elpa/packages/ada-ref-man ../../elpa/archive-tmp/packages
cp -a ../../elpa/packages/wisi ../../elpa/archive-tmp/packages
make -C ../../elpa/ process-archive
install-elpa :
emacs -Q --eval '(progn (load-file "install-elpa.el")(kill-emacs))'
That is a test of the complete process, assuming there are no steps on
the GNU ELPA server that are not in the elpa.git makefile.
