Binary package names make it easy to find out.
I found it helps in some cases if source package names gives good hints on its connection to Emacs, but as you said the binary package will be prefixed with "elpa-" anyway it may be good enough for searching purpose. Though I would still like to see the source package prefixed with "emacs-", I won't insist on it. Obinata-san, please feel free to change it back to "pangu-spacing" if you prefer, and sorry for the trouble. > > -- > Sean Whitton -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
