At least in my local tests, with (auctex :url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/auctex.git" :news "NEWS.org" :make "all" :manual ("doc/auctex.texi" "doc/preview-latex.texi") and then "make auctex.tar", the manuals & dir file are there only inside doc/ where running :make "all" has generated them. > That would be ok for me; I would also be willing to add a special elpa > make target moving the files or generating another top-level dir file. > But I certainly want the additional benefit of having the docs linked. > Whatever is best for elpa.
