I'd be happy to add it to GNU ELPA, but I have a few questions/comments
some of which may affect this decision, so I haven't done it yet:
- It's usually spelled "Tramp" rather than "TRAMP", AFAIK.
- I suggest you clarify that this is not about Tramp using (internally)
nspawnd to increase its security. So instead of "allows TRAMP to work
with containers", I'd say something like "teaches Tramp to access
nspawnd containers"?
- `nspawnd-tramp` suggests this adds Tramp support to nspawnd rather than
the reverse.
- Any reason why you want to have it as a separate package rather than
add it to Tramp?
- `nspawn-tramp-machinectl-path` does not hold a "path" (like $PATH and
`load-path`) but a "file name", please follow the GNU convention.
