To identify the source of the repository of packages: From https://stackoverflow.com/a/27216910: "With multiple repositories enabled, the package-list-packages view contains an "Archive" column that is populated for available (uninstalled) packages, e.g.:"

Package            Version      Status     Archive    Description
ace-window         0.5.0        available  melpa-s... Quickly switch windows using `ace-jump-mode'.
ack                1.3          available  gnu        Interface to ack-like source code search tools

Non-working repositories

Unknown

• Tromey's ELPA - https://tromey.com/elpa/
  • Emacs connects to it, but I don't see any packages listed for the repository with package-list-packages.

Incompatible

• ("Elpy Package Archive" . "https://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/")
  • package-list-packages says at the bottom: "elpy 1.18.0 incompat Emacs Python Development Environment"
• ("User42 ELPA" . "http://download.tuxfamily.org/user42/elpa/packages/")

Down

Marmalade

"Note: The repository has had significant availability problems for years (and it seems to be down since 2021), so package users/authors may wish to look at ELPA, NonGNU ELPA and MELPA in addition to (or instead of) Marmalade." - https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MarmaladeRepo
