Where can I download the Emacs APEL package?

Question

I'm trying to install ElScreen that allows multi-tab editing in Emacs.

One of its prerequisite is call APEL (A Portable Emacs Library). However, it seems that I cannot find a usable download link of APEL anywhere: wikipedia, Emacs-wiki, and ElScreen's README file all give broken links. Are there still anyone using this package and knows how to install? Thanks!

Answer 1

I followed the ubuntu link and was able to get it from there (thanks rvf0068), but figured it would be nice if there was an easier way to get at it than having to unpack a .deb.

So it's on github now too (and it works with emacs 24.2, I just did it).

Answer 2

If you use Ubuntu (and maybe also Debian) there's the possibility of installing apel from the repositories. See for example: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/apel

Answer 3

If you use emacs 24, a fork version of Elscreen having no dependency on APEL is available in github. You can install it easily through ELPA(Emacs Lisp Package Archive). I've been using it with no problems.
