Installing Org through the new http://orgmode.org ELPA

Installing Org through the new http://orgmode.org ELPA

[Bastien]

Dear all,

you can now install the Complete Org Edition (tm), which includes
contributed files, from M-x list-packages RET.

Add the new Org ELPA with:

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/"))

Be aware that you will need to initialize packages early in your
Emacs init file -- i.e. put (package-initialize) before setting any 
Org options.

Please read http://orgmode.org/elpa/ for details.

Packages are not updated every day anymore, they are updated
every week.  As these packages are created from the stable maint
branch, a weekly basis seems reasonable.

Thanks to those who help pushing this forward, especially Jambunathan,
Achim and Eric!

Enjoy,

--

This is great, thanks!

Perhaps the following elisp snippet on the orgmode.org/elpa page

    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
    (package-initialize)    ;; Initialize Package
    (require 'org-install)  ;; Initialize Org
    ;; (setq org-...)       ;; Custom settings

should be expanded to

    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
    (package-initialize)    ;; Initialize & Install Package
    (unless package-archive-contents (package-refresh-contents))
    (unless (package-installed-p 'org) (package-install 'org))
    (require 'org-install)  ;; Initialize Org
    ;; (setq org-...)       ;; Custom settings

I gave these instructrion, but in a separate chunk as I want to
keep the first one very short and clear...  Thanks for this!
