This means that debian packages +built with this tool will show up in M-x list-packages, and that user +installs of more up to date packages will override them (for that +user!). Perhaps the most important improvement is that no file +/etc/emacs/site-start.d is needed for such a package. + +* Limitations + +- This tool is currently not very well tested. + +- Currently all of the emacs lisp files are installed into one + directory; this might break packages that do fancier things with + load-path. + +- package.el gets confused if you have both a system and a user elpa + package and refuses to delete the user one unless you delete the + system one first. |
