Install org from ELPA instead of Org ELPA #15140
Conversation
From org version 9.5 org will not be distributed from Org ELPA but from ELPA (see https://list.orgmode.org/87lfa7tc9v.fsf@gnu.org/t/). This commit makes Spacemacs use/install org from ELPA. Besides that, this commit removes some 'hack' that seemed to have no effect. As org comes with Emacs `package-installed-p 'org` will always return t. Also activating org via `configuration-layer//activate-package` seems to have no effect. Finally, the package is declared including a :min-version because appending only `:location melpa` seems to have no effect (this can probably be considered a bug). I am almost certain that the information that was added when making org install from Org ELPA is still relevant also for installing org from ELPA so I have just adapted the version number from 0.104 to 0.300. As the "org" archive has been removed, the `ert-deftest` for it can be removed also.

I wanted to leave an update here. On Gitter chat @dalanicolai recommended that I either perform a fresh install or remove the org elpa directory. I performed a fresh install and this worked perfectly on my Linux isntall. On a side note, having I will try removing the org elpa directory from my spacemacs on my Windows 10 install and report back soon to confirm that method works as well. |

I'm getting an 'IMPORTANT: please install Org from GNU ELPA…' message when starting spacemacs...how can I change an existing installation of spacemacs to point to GNU elpa? |

From org version 9.5 org will not be distributed from Org ELPA but from
ELPA (see https://list.orgmode.org/87lfa7tc9v.fsf@gnu.org/t/). This commit makes
Spacemacs use/install org from ELPA.
Besides that, this commit removes some 'hack' that seemed to have no effect. As
org comes with Emacs,

configuration-layer//activate-packageseems to have noeffect.
Finally, the package is declared including a :min-version because appending only

I am almost certain that the information that was added when making org install
from Org ELPA is still relevant also for installing org from ELPA so I have just
adapted the version number from 0.104 to 0.300 in the docs.
As the "org" archive has been removed, the
