Use the official spacelpa ELPA repository. address: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa ELPA repository configuration is now in a file called .lock at the root of the git repository. Its goal is to setup the ELPA repositories for a given branch and it should not be modified! The philosophy of Spacemacs is to never fork the git repository and this lock file has been put in the repo on purpose. Only the master branch will have a .lock file that points to spacelpa, the develop branch won't use the stable ELPA repository and will continue to behave like it always did. BUT for testing purpose and until the first major version of Spacemacs that uses the stable ELPA repo is released I push a .lock file to develop branch that points to spacelpa. I understand that some people can be annoyed by this so the variable configuration-layer--elpa-archives can be overriden by putting a setq in your dotfile in the user-init function like this: (setq configuration-layer--elpa-archives '(("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/") ("org" . "orgmode.org/elpa/") ("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))

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/")
|
|
("org" . "orgmode.org/elpa/")
|
|
("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
