<div>ELPA is the '''Emacs Lisp Package Archive''', by TomTromey.<br />

== ELPA ==<br />
<br />
<br />
“Our goal is to make it simple to install, use, and upgrade Emacs Lisp packages. We supply package.el, a simple package manager for Emacs, and a repository of pre-packed Emacs Lisp code.”<br />
<br />
package.el (from ELPA) will be added to vanilla GnuEmacs, version 24. As of 2010-06-18, package.el has been merged with the development version of Emacs, and an ELPA repository has been set up at http://elpa.gnu.org/.<br />
<br />
The Emacs version of package.el will support multiple repositories. You can use the global ELPA plus the Emacs GNU repository like this:<br />
<br />
(setq package-archives '(("ELPA" . "http://tromey.com/elpa/") <br />
("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))<br />
<br />
The old URL, for historical purposes is at: http://tromey.com/elpa/<br />
<br />

== Marmalade ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Marmalade, a package.el friendly community package source that allows users to upload their own packages. Package maintainers don’t have to be the same as the maintainers of the original code.<br />
<br />
Some packages (for instance, slime) are out of date however.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Melpa ==<br />
<br />
<br />
See also MELPA at http://melpa.milkbox.net/<br />
<br />
Melpa uses a recipe system similar to el-get. Recipes are stored on a git-hub repository which tells the updated package.el how to download each package. The source of the package might be from git, svn, darcs or this wiki.</div>217.17.196.250
