(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://USER@elpa.gnu.org/home/elpa/package-repo package-repo + + Bind the branch: + + cd package-repo/ + echo "public_branch = bzr+ssh://USER@elpa.gnu.org/home/elpa/package-repo" >> .bzr/branch/branch.conf + bzr bind bzr+ssh://USER@elpa.gnu.org/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.
