It apparently expired on July 12, 2018.

As foretold in #106, it might take a while, but hopefully we can get another three-year renewal :)

tpapp commented 6 years ago

FWIW, I had very good experience with https://letsencrypt.org/. One can set up the renewal automatically.

Letsencrypt is definitely the way to go forwards. It's free, and once setup, it features automatic renewal.

What's not to like?

tpapp commented 6 years ago

Emacswiki now considers this repository as discontinued, so perhaps the best course is to consider it abandonware.

The last comment was from ~18 months ago, but this is still happening...

sleep-walker commented 4 years ago

keep-alive ping - this is still problem

And today.

It's still going on.

I’m no official representative for marmalade, nor do I in any way have the authority to speak on its behalf…

That said: This is a production-stopping bug which has persisted for more than 4 years, without Nic ever, not once, responded, acknowledged it nor promising a fix.

That’s almost half a decade.

Marmalade as an alternate repo is gone. People aren’t publishing there anymore and haven’t for 4+ years. If it ever gets back online, it will exclusively contain obsolete or broken packages.

It’s dead.

Thanks @nicferrier for running marmalade for us over the year. It was greatly appreciated!

But as a community, we have ELPA, non-GNU ELPA and MELPA to rely on, and there’s no point keeping marmalade around as a zombie. It’s time to let go.

(And maybe even @tpapp can close this issue to acknowledge that?)

tpapp commented 2 years ago

@josteink: I don't understand what closing an issue that is unfixed has to do with signaling that a repo is abandoned. It may remain unfixed forever, but I don't see how closing it would help.

The maintainer can archive the repository and then all issues would be frozen.

Yes, this project seems to be anadoned, cf #158.

josteink commented 2 years ago

I mean the issue is fixed/resolved since we as Emacs-users still have plenty of repos to choose from.

And as things are now, reviving marmalade will only make things worse, not better.
