* Intro This is a work-in progress project to generate Debian packages of Emacs Lisp extensions that integrate with the built in (since GNU Emacs 24.1) package system package.el. 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.
