There wiki has no dates, so I never know how relevant it is. A= lso, I knew about those differences when choosing el-get but wondered if an= ything had changed. I had recently looked at el-get and noticed that the co= re lisp code seemed unchanged for 2 years. https://github.com/dimitri/el-get And noticed that melpa had some git fetcher tags https://github.com/melpa/melpa :fetcher specifies the type of repository that :url or :repo points to. Mel= pa supports git, github, gitlab, hg (Mercurial), and wiki (for packages fro= m Emacswiki.org).
