Packages which are non-compliant with Emacs packaging guidelines

[Jonathan Underwood]

Hi,

Presently a lot of packages are not complying with the Emacs packaging
guidelines[1]. These guidelines have been in place in their current
form since Fedora 16, so it's probably time to start fixing packages.
The lists below detail packages with various problems, and their
package owners.

[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Emacs

1. Emacs add-ons with -el sub-packages
===============================
The guidelines no longer stipulate that elisp source files be in a
separate sub-package. The packages below still have -el subpackages.
These subpackages should be removed, and the elisp source files should
be packaged in the main package. See [1] for more detail.

column -t]


2. Packages shipping support for Emacs
===============================
The guidelines no longer stipulate that packages which also bundle
support for Emacs should split out their emacs files in to separate
sub-packages. These packages should no longer have emacs-foo and
emacs-foo-el sub-packages, and should instead ship those files with
the main package which should Require emacs-filesystem. See [1] for
more detail.
