That's right. But because the build isn't exposed people don't test their packages and this bit is never tested. As Philip said, when he's building software he'll just edit and eval in his emacs. In the normal way (me too btw). But this isn't smalltalk. When you're done you can't just drop what you did into elpa.git and expect it to work. You have to test the package-installed version in a new emacs session with no config because that's the only time you have byte compilation, autoload generation and fresh dependency analysis. Nic
