No-one has written such a tool yet. As far as I understand the process, package.el loads e single emacs lisp file from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/elpa.git which takes care for the rest, i.e. fetching stuff from sourceforge, installing them locally in a subdirectory of the user's home directory and integrating them into the emacs infrastructure. Repeating these steps in bash for makepkg is tedious. Best Regards Stefan
