Subject: bug#38140: ELPA needs a standard mechanism for single-package compilation

To compile a single ELPA package for tests or during development, it is
currently necessary to clone/pull the whole elpa.git.  This is wasteful
if only a single package is of interest.  ELPA should have a standard
mechanism that allows (pulling/)compiling/testing etc. of single
packages.  I request that such a mechanism be implemented.
