NOTES ON THE EMACS PACKAGE ARCHIVE
The GNU Emacs package archive, at elpa.gnu.org, is managed using a Git
repository named "elpa", hosted on Savannah. To check it out:
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa
cd elpa
make setup
That leaves the elpa/packages directory empty; you must check out the
ones you want.
If you wish to check out all the packages into the packages directory,
you can run the command:
make worktrees
You can check out a specific package <pkgname> into the packages
directory with:
make packages/<pkgname>
Changes to this repository propagate to elpa.gnu.org via a
"deployment" script run daily. This script generates the content
visible at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages.
A new package is released as soon as the "version number" of that
package is changed. So you can use 'elpa' to work on a package
without fear of releasing those changes prematurely. And once the
code is ready, just bump the version number to make a new release of
the package.
It is easy to use the elpa branch to deploy a "local" copy of the
package archive. For details, see the README file in the elpa branch.
