Update? Org-mode and ELPA

Update? Org-mode and ELPA

[Jeff Horn]

Jambunathan,

Will the org-mode ELPA tar-ball be updated on a regular basis? The
package in the GNU ELPA repo is from November. I do not recall whether
this is the original upload you made.

I'm only asking out of curiosity... I still regularly update via git,
but I was playing around with ELPA earlier today and thought I'd check
the repo.

I noticed this as well. Bastien would have more information on the
'brokenness' you are reporting.

Meanwhile, did you experiment with tars at
http://orgmode.org/pkg/daily/? These tars are getting built
regularly. At this moment installation is a two step process - you have
to manually download the tar and install it with M-x package-upload-file
[1].

Once my patch - http://hg.newartisans.com/patch/377/ - gets checked in
and worg server is updated, one will be able to install org tarballs
with a single step.

I hope you were able to install org-20101120.tar (the 'latest' on
elpa.gnu.org) without any issues.

Thanks, Jambunathan. This is just the information I was looking for.
Since ELPA will be in Emacs 24, I'm glad to org will be easy to
install.

This means I'll be able to download the emacs-starter-kit and install
org very quickly for people I'm trying to convince to adopt org. :)
