Dear Contributers, As of today emacs matlab, is (only) a MELPA pkg (besides dwelling in sourceforge and in github), but not in ELPA.
The main reason for this decision was that some code was owned by mathworks. That however has changes quite some time ago, but I was too busy to address its implication. In order that matlab emacs enters ELPA, there are some necessary conditions to satisfy. 1. All current contributers must sign the relevant papers of the FSF. As far as I can remember, Eric did, John I think too, and I as well. Could you please confirm? 2. So it would be nice if new contributers signed these papers as well. 3. Contributions made in ancient times (or some time ago) are a more complicated issue. git shortlog -ns | more tells me Eric Ludlam (zappo) zappo Uwe Brauer davenar John Ciolfi dlebrecht While hg churn (yes I use hg-git) tells me eric@ zappo@ eludlam@ ciolfi@ davenar@ oub@ oub@ fritz_da_silva@ But there are others I recall Matt Wette for example 04Jan91 by Matt Wette Created. Used eiffel.el as a guide. 07Dec96 by Matt Wette incorporated many fixes from Mats Bengtsson These authors might be difficult to find, but as far as I can remember Eric told me that he basically EL> Regarding searching for contributors, over the years I replaced a huge amount of the old matlab.el code. rewrote every contribution done by these authors. I have to check this issue with with the FSF or on the emacs dev mailing list. Maybe git blame (or hg annotate) would help. I found an very old matlab.el file, in which the changlog file is appended. However it is a bit murky since it sometimes not clear whether a given author did a feature request/proposal or an actual contribution. Before bring this subject to the FSF or the emacs dev mailing list: Would all current (or future) developers willing to sign the corresponding FSF papers? Regards Uwe
