AFAICS, there's an uncompressed tarball for the newest release and compressed tarballs (using lzip) for older releases? > Let me know if you can easily source tarballs from ELPA.

We cannot use the uncompressed tarball because it will be gone for older releases (which may be the release in our stable distro tree), and the compressed tarball doesn't yet exist when we add an ebuild for the newest release. An additional compressed tarball also for the newest release would fix this problem for us. We'd also prefer a more common format, e.g. xz instead of lzip (which isn't supported by our standard unpacker), but this is a minor issue. > Once done, I can add this information to the manual and to orgmode.org > website for the benefit of others. > In the past, we also referenced Org tarballs from orgmode.org itself. > We might consider resurrecting that workflow (may take time). Thanks. We would very much appreciate it.
