I don't know whether that's a good idea. The elpa/ part I already dislike, and the "-pkg\\.el$" exclude might have existed for a reason (I don't know which, put perhaps byte compilation).

I know people take package.el for granted nowadays, but alternative package managers for Emacs have their uses.

Also, on line 137 elpa-directory > function can be used. I don't think we want to fake elpa that hard. Two iterations ago it was .guix.d and people didn't really like it. My subdirs.el patch is also stretching it. So I really don't want to add another subdirectory layer to it. If elpa can't deal with that, we'll have to code around it in Elisp. > When you will be updating the path, please remove -pkg.el from > %default-exclude. I've CC'd Maxim, perhaps they know more about %default-exclude. Regards, Leo
