IIUC, you'd like to configure Org-mode to export a LaTeX file that is functionally equivalent to sigproc-sp.tex. If this is the case, it might be best to change the name of orgmode.org to sigproc-sp.org or something similar. If the goal is to support both exporters, perhaps sigproc-sp-old.org and sigproc-sp-new.org? In my view, it is best to encapsulate as much of the Org-mode configuration as possible in an init.el file. That way, users of the Org-mode template can launch with emacs -Q etc. and not have to worry about their own customizations that might conflict with the configuration. An example is here: https://github.com/tsdye/LKFS.git. Perhaps two initialization files would be needed: init-new.el and init-old.el? > With the new exporter, I was not able to compile the Org-mode file > at all.
