Now that release-7.02 is out, I am a bit disappointed that a ELPA-tar named org-7.02.tar would be unusable. The reason is "7.02" doesn't round-trip well and package manager is allergic to such a choice. Verify this for yourself. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (package-version-join (version-to-list "7.02")) #+end_src If you don't mind sharing, I am curious what made you still go with 7.02 scheme.
