Problems with ELPA are I had to put ELPA directory into my .emacs.d repo to exchange the my configurations between different computers. so when ever I add/delete a plugin by ELPA, I will have big changes in my .emacs.d repo. Other thing is manual checking for the plugin updates. that's why i chose to use el-get. Again, may be experienced git&elisp users can overcome these problems quite easily. > > Jambunathan K. > > yagnesh raghava yakkala writes: > >> Dear list, >> >> I recently dove into emacs world because of org.

As I said, i could solve my problem with deleting the org directory (bad idea indeed , loosing the fallback option) in my emacs installation. My question was why el-get is not able to init the Org while it is doing good with other packages. if this is not so interesting/important, please ignore this thread as closed Since I am having a working git head org installation.
