If so, we should add > that to the readme. Yes. I recommend you do: git clone .../elpa.git cd elpa make externals make and then add that ../elpa/packages directory to package-directory-list. At some point hopefully, the above would be better integrated with Emacs's own build procedure so it can be done more automatically, thus reducing further the difference between packages included in Emacs and those in GNU ELPA.
