No, the recipe provided by Keita is a package.el thing: ,----[ C-h v package-load-list RET ] | package-load-list is a variable defined in ‘package.el’. | | Its value is (all) | | List of packages for ‘package-activate-all’ to make available. | Each element in this list should be a list (NAME VERSION), or the | symbol ‘all’. The symbol ‘all’ says to make available the latest | installed versions of all packages not specified by other | elements. | | For an element (NAME VERSION), NAME is a package name (a symbol). | VERSION should be t, a string, or nil. | If VERSION is t, the most recent version is made available. | If VERSION is a string, only that version is ever made available. | Any other version, even if newer, is silently ignored. | Hence, the package is "held" at that version. | If VERSION is nil, the package is not made available (it is "disabled"). `---- If you're using AUCTeX from a local repo, you have to remove the init code for AUCTeX from your .emacs. > I for one never use packages from ELPA and its friends.
