Actually I'm not sure MELPA requires a repository to be on GitHub. Reading the recipe format I understand one can specify a git repository on any server, and even not only git. > However, the GNU ELPA versions XX.YY.Z with Z >= 1 are > essentially development snapshots where is Git HEAD is at most a few > weeks ahead. Anyway, I think the GNU ELPA package works reasonably well and we don't need for the time being a more bleeding-edge version. Probably, we should make it more clear we prefer that way of installing AUCTeX, I still see sometimes people having trouble installing the source package or the Windows one.
