At first view, I would say that an info version of the ARM is comparable to gnat or gnatinspect: it makes sense that ada-mode uses it if available, but building it from source is far outside the scope of Emacs packages. Sorry if these questions are naive, but you maintain a separate source package building the ARM in the info format, among others. - What would an ELPA packaging of the ARM add? - Does it make sense to let the same source package build an ELPA version too? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
