Jostein,
Thanks for the questions.
> But I can't seem to find this package ready for use in core Emacs, ELPA nor MELPA.
The only place I've published the source so far is
on github. It's still in development and still has bugs; publishing it
on ELPA or MELPA seems premature to me.
If you
want to try it, load cpio.el and in a cpio [newc or crc] archive run M-x
cpio-mode. That should present a dired-like interface to work with.
> Apart from the source which is hosted by Github, how and where is this package distributed?
And, no, it's not packaged properly for use in core emacs yet, for the same reasons. I'll do that when I think it's stable.
> Was this email just a "FYI here's my package" notification to other
Emacs users/developers? Or was this post a request for inclusion in
Emacs or ELPA?
I want to submit this as a part of core emacs and
was told to publish it on this mailing list but with no details. If I'm
doing something wrong, please let me know.
