  • Most built-in packages are not mirrored. They are included in the Epkg database, but no individual repositories exist for them on the Emacsmirror.
  • "Core" packages (i.e., those that are also distributed on GNU Elpa for use with older Emacs releases) used to be mirrored but no tool exists that is truely capable of doing that reliably and efficiently, so these repositories ended up never being updated and were removed.
  • Three built-in packages (org, tramp and transient) are mirrored, but in those cases the Emacsmirror tracks the upstream repositories, not the version in Emacs, which explains the apparent discrepancy in the builtin row.
  • The Emacsmirror prefers mirroring packages from the upstream repository, even when they are also available from GNU Elpa. That explaining the apparent discrepancy in the gnu-elpa row.
  • Melpa gets some packages from the Emacsmirror (mirror row), because for one reason or another it is not able to get them directly from upstream.
  • Melpa also gets some packages from the Emacsattic (shelved row), likely because the upstream repository has disappeared. Such packages are "shelved", that is, they are moved from the Emacsmirror to the Emacsattic. Melpa doesn't support demoting packages like this, so here we tend to keep them around longer, treating the attic as the "upstream".
  • When a repository is used to maintain a "main" package as well as one or more "extentions" to that package, then Melpa often distributes these packages individually, while the Emacsmirror does not split up such repositories into multiple packages. Such "secondary packages" are accounted for in the secondary row and listed in the "Shared repository" table below.
