NOTES ON THE EMACS PACKAGE ARCHIVE

Here are instructions on uploading files to the package archive at
elpa.gnu.org, for Emacs maintainers.  (If you are not a maintainer,
contact us if you want to submit a package.)

1. You will need login access to elpa.gnu.org.  You will also need to
   get the FSF sysadmins to allow ssh access through the FSF firewall
   for your local machine.  Ensure that your uid, USER, is in the
   `elpa' group on elpa.gnu.org; this gives you write access to the
   bzr repository from which the packages are managed.

2. Go to your bzr repository on your local machine.  Of, if you don't
   have one (you should, if you're tracking Emacs bzr), make one:

     cd $DEVHOME
     bzr init-repo elpa/
     cd elpa

   Create a branch for elpa:

     bzr branch bzr+ssh://[e-mail]/home/elpa/package-repo package-repo

   Bind the branch:

     cd package-repo/
     echo "public_branch = bzr+ssh://[e-mail]/home/elpa/package-repo" >> .bzr/branch/branch.conf
     bzr bind bzr+ssh://[e-mail]/home/elpa/package-repo

   Now you should be able to do `bzr up' and `bzr commit'.

3. Changes in bzr do not immediately propagate to the user-facing tree
   (i.e., what users see when they do `M-x list-packages').  That tree
   is created by a (daily) cron job that does "bzr export".  If for
   some reason you need to refresh the user-facing tree immediately,
   run /home/elpa/bin/package-update.sh as the "elpa" user.

   The Org mode dailies are not part of the repository.  After the
   package-update.sh script creates the user-facing tree, it copies
   the daily tarfile hosted on orgmode.org directly into that tree.

4. FIXME: How to actually upload a package file.
