You're wrong to want that for several reasons: - you constrain packages to have source that is managed only by the elpa.git makefile - you hide the build system from most authors - eventually it won't scale, massive branching in a git repo just to manage totally different packages is not what git was made for. I don't understand why you don't do the obvious thing that nearly every packaging system does and accept the need for specifically made artifacts. Nic
