elpa-mirror

Mirrors for some Emacs package archives. These mirrors should be used only when official repository is temporarily down. Maintained using mirror-elpa.

Usage - GitHub

Just setup package-archives in your init.el file.

(setq package-archives
      '(("melpa" . "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror/master/melpa/")
        ("org"   . "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror/master/org/")
        ("gnu"   . "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror/master/gnu/")))

Usage - Local

First, you need to clone this repository.

$ git clone --depth 1 git@gitlab.com:d12frosted/elpa-mirror.git ~/.elpa-mirror

And then setup package-archives in your init.el file.

(setq package-archives
      `(("melpa" . ,(concat user-home-directory ".elpa-mirror/melpa/"))
        ("org"   . ,(concat user-home-directory ".elpa-mirror/org/"))
        ("gnu"   . ,(concat user-home-directory ".elpa-mirror/gnu/"))))

Usage with Spacemacs

To use elpa-mirror with Spacemacs, you need to modify configuration-layer-elpa-archives. To do so, just add following code to the dotspacemacs/init function.

;; remote
(setq configuration-layer-elpa-archives
      '(("melpa" . "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror/master/melpa/")
        ("org"   . "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror/master/org/")
        ("gnu"   . "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d12frosted/elpa-mirror/master/gnu/")))

;; local
(setq configuration-layer-elpa-archives
      `(("melpa" . ,(concat user-home-directory ".elpa-mirror/melpa/"))
        ("org"   . ,(concat user-home-directory ".elpa-mirror/org/"))
        ("gnu"   . ,(concat user-home-directory ".elpa-mirror/gnu/"))))

For more grained control over package-archives (e. g. if you wish to use mirror only when one of the official repositories is down) checkout how it’s implemented in Spacemacs.
