That would be up to you (you could use the elpa.git repository as the main development repository), but yes there might still be two repository. > How does moving to ELPA simplify the process of merging the > package into Emacs trunk, is it scriped or something? Not sure. It depends on what are the reasons why you currently don't update the Emacs code yourself (and have Glenn do it instead). > Likewise how do those edits made to the package in Emacs > trunk get back into the ELPA version? I think Glenn's suggestion would be to move those modes out of Emacs proper and have them be in elpa.git *instead*. Stefan
