Like the straight author, I also prefer a Halstedian approach to
garbage code, but elpa-admin is not that, and maintaining a
Heroku mirror to
normalize relations with ELPA is as cost-effective as erecting a
Trumpian
border wall. I suppose, relative to that undertaking, having to
replicate
elpa-admin's pre-build treatment and default-inclusive recipe
were but
afterthoughts. [1]
Ever unconvincingly trying to appear aloof, I'll add the
requisite disclaimer
that none of these decisions actually matters except to a
hundred or so
obsessives. Most emacsers' configurations are so flawed that
nothing we do
prevents them from having to issue shell commands to manage
third-party
elisp.

So you take issue with the Org specific code I mentioned earlier?
Again, this is almost exactly what Org does in its makefile.
I'm not sure what qualifies that as 'gnarly', or even what you
mean by 'gnarly' in that context.
At one point straight.el ignored this step altogether and provided
a hack to work around it.
I considered that to be a worse solution than implementing general
pre-build commands, especially
considering Org is not the only popular package to require such
treatment (see mu4e, magit, etc).
Writing in a flowery, over-the-top manner isn't a substitute for
substance.
If you have any concrete technical criticisms, I'm open to hearing
them.
Still waiting to hear how el-paso deals with the issue of packages
with similar requirements, too.
However, this conversation has strayed from the original topic and
doesn't belong on emacs-devel.
As such, this is the last reply I'll make to this thread.
Feel free to email me directly or open an issue at straight's
repo.
