Nice. And to be clear, by 'omitting the "Maintainer:" line', I meant only WRT the `describe-package' results in Emacs and (hopefully) not the web pages at http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/foo.html, etc. > >> Full >> remediation would, I think, also require that foo-pkg.el files and >> /archive-contents data hosted on elpa.gnu.org reflect the newer format. > > I am not familiar with ERC's infrastructure, shouldn't this happen > automatically? Yes, automatically. But I think elpa-admin would still need a shim, at least until such time as the Emacs running on the production instance is upgraded to 30.1 (or 29.3, if such a thing ever materializes). Not sure if it's Stefan or the GNU infra people who control this. > >> To help move this process along, Stefan has called for patches, but I >> unfortunately am unable to reciprocate because I lack the wherewithal. >> Hoping you're able to assist in this regard either directly, with code, >> or by pointing out specific areas in the Emacs code base (and possibly >> elpa-admin's as well) that would need addressing. > > I could help, but I don't understand what is going on well enough to > produce any concrete patches. Thanks. I myself don't understand the whole picture either, only what's readily apparent from observed behavior. I mean, I guess I can give it a shot, but I'll mostly be flying blind. > >> TIA, >> J.P. >> >> [1] >> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2024-01/msg01575.html
