Thanks. I've created debbugs-0.1.tar, based on this. I'll send it to you off the list, for uploading to elpa.gnu.org. > It also explains how to set up a "mini" package archive on your local > machine. This provides a way to test installing your package from the > M-x list-packages interface, by adding the local archive to the > `package-archives' alist. I've tried this as well. `package-upload-file' did work fine (after adjusting `package-archive-upload-base'). But `list-packages' failed afterwards, see *Messages*: Loading package...done (("tmp" . "/tmp/") ("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")) Failed to download `tmp' archive. I'll see, whether I can debug into this. Best regards, Michael.
