+* MELPA
+
+** Configuration
+
+*** Information
+The logic is simple: there is a recipe file that specifies which
subdirectories and files to use from the repository.
+[[file:~/ALLES/src/matlab-recip.patch][file:~/ALLES/src/matlab-recip.patch]]
+
+*** lisp
+#+begin_src elisp :noexport
+ (defconst package-build-default-files-spec
+ '("*.el" "lisp/*.el"
+ "dir" "*.info" "*.texi" "*.texinfo"
+ "doc/dir" "doc/*.info" "doc/*.texi" "doc/*.texinfo"
+ "docs/dir" "docs/*.info" "docs/*.texi" "docs/*.texinfo"
+ (:exclude
+ ".dir-locals.el" "lisp/.dir-locals.el"
+ "test.el" "tests.el" "*-test.el" "*-tests.el"
+ "lisp/test.el" "lisp/tests.el" "lisp/*-test.el" "lisp/*-tests.el"))
+ "Default value for `:files' attribute in recipes.")
+#+end_src
+
+*** Fork and set up
+To contribute to MELPA:
+1. Fork the melpa directory to your local repository using the provided button.
+2. Clone it locally.
+3. Edit and commit your changes.
+4. Test using `make recipes/matlab-mode`, comparing the generated tar file
with your version.
+5. Push your changes.
+6. In the repository, use the highlighted yellow indicators to compare and
submit a pull request.
+
+** Actualise
+Every push to our GitHub repository triggers an automatic release in MELPA,
using the current date as the reference.
+
+Example
+#+begin_src
+ matlab-mode 20250529.56 available melpa Major
mode for MATLAB(R) dot-m files
+#+end_src
+
+* ELPA
+
+ELPA is configured.
+
+The current configuration resides in `=.elpaignore=`, which may be updated if
the need arises.
+
+However, to issue a new release, the version number must be explicitly changed
in the relevant file—currently `matlab.el`.
