No; as far as I know you'll get the version described in
package-get-base.
Is it true, that I must at first install a new
package-get-base.el{,c}
before I'm able to get the latest package?
I've seen, that the latest package-get-base.el{,c} is an incremental
file and therfore it seems to me, that I've to build the latest
package-get-base.el{,c} by hand. Is that correct or is there an
automated way to install the latest package-get-base.el{,c}?
I posted some simple functions yesterday for updating (the
lisp variable) package-get-base from an "increment" file, and for
writing an updated package-get-base.el. After I posted it I noticed an
error in the file[1]; I've also seen some indications that this
functionality is already part of the package system (wouldn't be the
first time I start implementing stuff without checking whether it
already exists :-)
