That's the beauty of ELPA -- no messing about with .emacs, no extra directories to keep track of / remember manually, easy uninstallation -- just like all package managers. That's why I use apt / dpkg (even when I have to build the package myself) instead of "make install". How about providing a stable ELPA package by editing http://orgmode.org/elpa/archive-contents to include a pristine 8.2.3b tar? > If you still want to try for whatever reason, put this in local.mk: > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > SERVROOT = serv > SERVERMK = server > include mk/$(SERVERMK).mk > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Thanks, that created an org-plus-contrib-20131114.tar in the build directory. So I guess it worked! Would be nice to document it somewhere. Best, Dan
