Hi Eli,

Apologize for my wrong comment.
You're right, the patch will allow to relocate/copy an elisp source folder from
/home/userA/.emacs.d/epla/**.el to
/home/userB/.emacs.d/epla/**.el.
So the patch should be the
"0002-New-variable-comp-el-to-eln-strip-prefix-for-comp-el.patch"
attached in this email.

And agree with you, it's dangerous when this variable is configured
with an arbitrary value.
So please feel free to close this ticket. Thanks

Best regards
Lin
