VERSION 0.300 IS ALMOST OUT!
|
|
|
|
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
|
|
|
|
The long awaited feature to have stable ELPA packages is now available in the
|
|
develop branch and we need to test it out before we release the 0.300 version.
|
|
|
|
The stable ELPA repository is a Git repository, the official one is called
|
|
Spacelpa and it is hosted on GitHub here:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa
|
|
|
|
In the end only the master branch will use the stable ELPA repository and the
|
|
develop branch will continue to use bleeding edge packages from MELPA
|
|
essentially.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately this new feature requires at least Emacs 25.1 to work correctly as
|
|
we need the archive priority feature of package.el that shipped with this
|
|
version of Emacs.
|
|
|
|
The ELPA repository configuration is set in a new immutable file called .lock
|
|
that sits at the root of the Spacemacs git repository.
|
|
|
|
Spacemacs downloads the whole ELPA stable repository locally so it means that
|
|
once it is installed you don't need an Internet connection anymore to install
|
|
any packages covered by Spacemacs layers!
|
|
|
|
Default installation location of the ELPA stable repository is in:
|
|
|
|
~/.emacs.d/.cache/stable-elpa
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable the ELPA stable repository put this in your dotfile in
|
|
the user-init function:
|
|
|
|
(setq configuration-layer-elpa-archives
|
|
'(("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/")
|
|
("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
