Sorry, what is SUDO?

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?

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,
