Copies would be less convenient and more expensive. I think there is no need for this material to be in the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual. So I suggest making a separate short manual about adding a package to GNU ELPA. The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual can direct people to it. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
