So what we need to is to avoid using "ELPA" without specifying which one (GNU's, Tom's, or some other one). Sure, but that's a mistake waiting to happen. Why not call it the GNU Emacs Package Archive, GEPA? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
