2026-02-25elpa-admin.el: Support building PDF manualsStefan Monnier

2025-07-08README: Remove left-over mention of `:main-file`Stefan Monnier
2022-12-21Stop recommending `git:` accessStefan Monnier
This recommendation was made because the `https:` URL ended up using the "dumb HTTP" which was much slower. This seems to be fixed now. * elpa-admin.el (elpaa--check-sync-failures) (elpaa--report-build-failure, elpaa--publish-package-spec): * README (Getting the source): Prefer `https:` over `git:`.
2022-12-11* README: Improve documentation of :core packages.Stefan Kangas
2022-11-03* README (=:branch BRANCH=): Doc that this is ignored if :url is nilStephen Leake
2022-10-29README (Getting the source): Recommend the --single-branch optionStefan Monnier
Also provide the `git://` URL because the `https` server is not smart, so it's *much* less efficient when fetching a single branch.

* README: Document :rolling-release * elpa-admin.el (elpaa--get-release-revision): Respect :rolling-release. (elpaa--make-one-package): Respect :rolling-release.

elpa-admin
2022-10-26Describe :release-branch with :url nilStephen Leake
* README: Match ../README more closely, fix typo, describe :release-branch with :url nil.
2022-10-25(elpaa--get-release-revision): Tweak heuristic for `:merge`Stefan Monnier
* elpa-admin.el (elpaa--get-release-revision): Use `--first-parent` for packages sync'd with `:merge`. (elpaa--call): Skip nil args. (elpaa--push): Simplify accordingly.
2022-10-25elpa-admin.el: Add support for non-fast-forward syncsStefan Monnier
* elpa-admin.el (elpaa--fetch): Don't stop at diversion when `:merge` is specified. Signal an error in branch suspected of being redundant. (elpaa--merge): New function. (elpaa--push): Obey `:merge`.
2022-04-10* README: build/[PKGNAME] can be used to test docs extractionSean Whitton
2022-01-06Support ignore value for :readmeStefan Kangas

2021-10-21Talk about elpa's main branch, not masterTassilo Horn
2021-10-21* README (Getting the source): Add setup, move checkout packages hereStephen Leake
2021-10-21* README: Don't recommend sending patchesStefan Monnier
2021-10-21* README: Incorporate changes from a commit in elpa.git:mainStefan Monnier
Incorporate most changes from the commit "Finalize the new master branch" (ee03829f90d25f62c2d36c5fef6f7b5eafb1040d). Both incarnations of README use the text before the first heading to talk about the containing branch/repository in way that makes it unsuitable for use in the other location. The ported commit modifies that part and those changes are dropped here.
