I was talking about the hypothetical possibility to offer another archive that is compatible with package manager and either packages Org including contrib or just contrib (so that it could be installed alongside the "normal" Org ELPA archive). Of these two options the first (canned Org + contrib/ in a single archive) is considerably easier to implement since all autoload dependencies are kept inside the same install. > Hopefully we can define dependencies for packages living on > different ELPA* serveurs -- can someone confirm this? I don't think that's possible if I understand what you're asking. When you configure multiple servers the package manager will treat all packages the same, you can't prefer packages on one server over another AFAIK — it choses the one with the highest version if the same package is offered from multiple sources. > If we are sure we can have a org-contrib in ELPA* that knows what org it > should rely on GNU ELPA, then let's go ahead with such package. That on the other hand would be possible if we find a way to sort out the autoloads maze. But we might avoid that problem altogether if we simply offer the Org+contrib package on orgmode.org and tell people to download it and then issue "M-x package-install-file".
