Hi Raman,

I believe the last update here https://akrl.sdf.org should answer your
questions on where the .eln are :)

The compilation for packages is supposed to happen automatically, but if
you really want to invoke the native compilation manually to compile AoT
a package you can still invoke something like:

(native-compile-async "~/.emacs.d/elpa/etcetc" 4 t)

Yeah that's a dependency introduced very recently (this weekend :), we
may remove it depending on what's the final strategy for hashing the the
eln filenames we decide to go for.

Glad you enjoy it!
