The ELPA package is built from the git repo, but indeed you can't use the ELPA package to develop the package itselft. > My ideal workflow would be: > * Develop on top of my git branch > * Let Emacs do the importing of that branch Actually, the question has been already asked a few times before, here you can find a quick & dirty solution: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2013-08/msg00005.html. At https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=auctex you can find the information about how to clone the git repository. > P.S.: As a side question, why does the ELPA package eliminate all references > to xemacs? Is this done automatically? I'm not sure what "references" you're referring to. AUCTeX dropped support for XEmacs in version 12. I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions!
