In a perfect world would they all go to MELPA and > emacs-goodies-el would go away? src:emacs-goodies-el is currently classified as a Debian "native package" (eg: no separate upstream sources); however, bin:emacs-goodies-el is a collection of various pseudo upstreams (eg: els copied from various places such as mailing lists or the emacs wiki). Many years ago this was state of the art :-) Now we want actively maintained upstream projects that release tarballs and/or tag stable releases--these don't necessarily have to be published in either MELPA or GNU ELPA. So yes, the subset of src:emacs-goodies-el that we will definitely keep contains multiple living upstreams. eg: browse-kill-ring, diminish, htmlize, markdown-mode, et al, whose bin:packages are: elpa-browse-kill-ring, elpa-diminish, elpa-htmlize, elpa-markdown-mode. Additionally there are debian-el, dpkg-dev-el, and devscripts-el. David took care of the first two, and devscripts-el still needs to be broken out into its own src:package. These three are native Debian packages. Cheers, Nicholas
