I have been trying to prepare the patches for the last few days, but
there seem to be issues with the build system (or hopefully I'm doing
something wrong):

$ make build-all
emacs --batch -Q -l admin/elpa-admin.el \
         -f elpaa-batch-pkg-spec-make-dependencies .pkg-descs.mk
emacs --batch -l /home/philip/Code/src/nongnu/admin/elpa-admin.el       \
         -f elpaa-batch-make-all-packages
Updating worktree in "/home/philip/Code/src/nongnu/packages/geiser/"
Updated geiser: merge: refs/remotes/origin/elpa/geiser - not something we can 
merge

Updating worktree in "/home/philip/Code/src/nongnu/packages/smartparens/"
Updated smartparens: fatal: No remote for the current branch.

Updating worktree in "/home/philip/Code/src/nongnu/packages/lua-mode/"
Updated lua-mode: fatal: No remote for the current branch.

Updating worktree in "/home/philip/Code/src/nongnu/packages/wgrep/"
Updated wgrep: fatal: No remote for the current branch.

...

I have attached the current version of the elpa-packages file below, in
case there should be anything wrong with that:

;; -*- lisp-data -*-

;; List of packages.
;; The list is made of elements of the form (NAME . PLIST)
;; Every package needs a corresponding Git branch in the repository
;; with name `externals/NAME`.
;;
;; See "Specifications" in the admin/README file for the properties
;; that can be used in PLIST.

Then there is also the issue that 'all-in-place' keeps failing because
of byte-compilation issues in the packages. They can be solved, but it
might also make sense to not compile everything indicated by
:ignored-files. Or is this behaviour intentional?
