Re: How to install editor lisp files?

[gsstark@mit.edu (Gregory S. Stark)]

You should just include the .el file, without bytecompiling, in
 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/<packagename>/

If there's code you want every user to run on startup.
you can create a file in 
 /etc/emacs/site-start.d/<packagename>
ideally it should only contain autoloads.



The imporant section from /usr/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz:

5) Packages with only marginal emacs relevance

   Generally, if a normal package just contains some emacs helper
   files, and does not need to perform any byte-compilation or other
   emacs dependent activities upon installation (for performance or
   other reasons), then it is not necessary to specify a dependency on
   emacsen or any flavor of emacs, and the package may just include
   files located in the standard emacs add-on directories.
