Also, package.el assumes HTTP URLs so it breaks if you try to set up a
local ELPA repo. I made it work with these changes to just two
functions. The change introduces filep and uses it to determine if we
need to do:
(package-handle-response)
(re-search-forward "^$" nil 'move)
(forward-char)
Patch attached, please review as I don't know package.el so well. It
seems to work for me.
