Hi all,
over the years, Org ELPA at https://orgmode.org/elpa/ has been useful
to make it possible to install Org and Org+Contrib as ELPA packages,
but maintaining a separate ELPA space just for Org is not necessary.
Org 9.5 will be the last release to be distributed on Org ELPA. After
9.5, we won't use Org ELPA for new releases. Past releases will still
be available, though maybe not indefinitely.
The Org package will continue to be available through GNU ELPA (from
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/) and a new Org-Contrib package will be
available from https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/.
Only stable releases will be distributed through both GNU and NonGNU
ELPA repositories. For those who want to test the unstable version of
Org, please install Org from Git:
~$ git clone https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git
See https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation
If you used Org ELPA and are affected by this change, please tell us
if this change affects you.
Thanks!
