## Source excerpt

The el-get project releases its new stable version, 3.1. This new release fixes bugs, add a host of new recipes (we have 420 of them and counting) and some nice new features too. You really want to upgrade. New features Among the features you will find dependencies management and M-x el-get-list-packages, that you should try as soon as possible. Of course, don't miss M-x el-get-self-update that eases the process somehow. This shows the result of M-x el-get-list-packages. The packages that don't have a description are the one from emacswiki that doesn't provide a listing of the filename and the first line of the file (it usually follows the format ;;; filename.el --- description here). As we don't want to mirror the website just to be able to provide descriptions, we just don't have them now.
