Sorry -- I was sloppy and extrapolated without actually looking at source code. I had (probably wrongly) assumed the package actually download and installed from melpa, but it looks like just used the (local, on machine) melpa functionality to install the sources contained in the .deb. Much nicer. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | [email protected]
