Run rgrep like so. (rgrep "pkg" "*.mk" "~/src/org-mode/" nil) and I see no references to 'org-pkg.el'. (Note the `-pkg.el') Look at following info node in Emacs-24+ (info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages") specifically this paragraph: ,---- | For example, if we distribute version 1.3 of the superfrobnicator | as a multi-file package, the tar file would be | `superfrobnicator-1.3.tar'. Its contents would extract into the | directory `superfrobnicator-1.3', and one of these would be the file | `superfrobnicator-pkg.el'. `---- You can also look at http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ to understand how things are packaged. > > > Regards, > Achim. --
