It is not like that. They don't do anything unless spoken to. They are common for many Lisp projects as well, tho right now I don't remember any names. The thing is, at least what I've heard, sadly, not enough people use it so the stuff in the repos are always out of date or nobody does it. So whenever there is a problem, and this I have first hand experience of, upgrading it from there won't help as that version has the same problem as yours - because, that's where you got it to begin with! So those small gadgets installers-upgraders are sort of the middle-solution between the repos - which are ideal in a perfect world - and what you can "self compiling". Actually, I wouldn't mind M-x upgrade-emacs and be prompted what version! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
