Maybe if you could share individual diffs from your git branch which add Makefile targets to: - bundle org-export and org-e-*.el ELPA packages - update package-upload-file - bundle an org+contrib ELPA package (if you have this implemented) then this functionality could be more easily folded into the master branch. -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte
