The reason is that this folder name is the same we use to disambiguate the Emacs version for every folder in `comp-eln-load-path'. I was asked to add the version there so is more user friendly and I think is a good suggestion. So now became like: ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache/28.0.50-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-679caf986.../ At this point the system cache was /usr/local/lib/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp/28.0.50-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-679caf986.../ I thought this is reduntant and removed the version there. > That's not what packages normally do (except for compilers and other > programs of the binary toolchain). Well doesn't sound that different :) I'll admit I don't have any strong opinion/interest on this directory topic, as long as we find a satisfying solution for everyone is no big deal to re-add the version there if we like.
