I couldn't find a reference to the Tell me if I'm wrong, but that information is in the recipe not in the repository that hosts the package itself. This is because it's not a package specific thing but a package archiver specific thing.

(let* ((url (format "git://github.com/%s.git" (plist-get config :repo))))
(pb/checkout-git name (plist-put (copy-sequence config) :url url) dir)))
(defun pb/checkout-git (name config dir)

(pb/run-process nil "git" "clone" repo dir)))
; .... omitted code ...
(apply 'pb/run-process dir "git" "log" "--first-parent" "-n1" "--pretty=format:'\%ci'"
(pb/expand-source-file-list dir config))What if we just clone the entire repository as it does? |

Ok, seems to work now. Closing. |
If a specifies in its recipe the files to be installed, some of them seems to be ignored.
For example the SLIME package from melpa specifies:
Which lists the files that should be included.
However when I install the
app-emacs/slimepackage I only get these files:In fact, starting emacs with slime now gives me the error:
