This patch adds the needed code to prepare magit for upload to ELPA.
If you don't know about ELPA, it is a simple package installer for
Emacs. More info is here:
http://tromey.com/elpa/
I'd like to upload magit to ELPA, but ordinarily I only do this with
some (minimal) cooperation from the maintainers. In magit's case, I
think the best thing for me would be if you could add "make elpa" to
your release process, and email the resulting tar to the elpa address
([email protected]). Alternatively, sending a release announcement
there would be ok too.
thanks,
Tom
