<cough>, OK, I wanted to write verbosely why I prefer
uncompressed-file-fetch, and why we should still use it, etc.;

but I've just noticed an unpleasant downside with
‘uncompressed-file-fetch’: for example, if you build the recently added
"emacs-queue" package, you'll get "queue-0.1.1.el" file, which makes it
impossible to do (require 'queue).  With David's solution, it will be a
proper "queue.el" file.

So I agree now.  David's patch is definitely a better solution :-)

Ah ! This is probably why I couldn't manage emacs-cider to require emacs-spinner and emacs-queue. They both are packaged with uncompressed-file-fetch.

In fact queue and spinner work if I installl them on their own.

After I attempt with cider, they not only are not requirable but they are also not autoloaded anymore.

So now I'll try stick with more tested download methods and see if cider works with those.

queue is available only as an uncompresse file

So I'll wait for this patch to be merged and then I'll try with the new emacs-build-system
