Description :octocat:

Org's package repo should be https now

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2018-01/msg00096.htmlre

Currently it's set to http somewhere (I can't figure out where).

this needs to be changed to https: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/723604d904e357511c16b908693a06876fc74455/core/core-configuration-layer.el#L2461

this check/workaround needs to be removed (else the repo will still use http) https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/723604d904e357511c16b908693a06876fc74455/core/core-configuration-layer.el#L485-L490

Thanks @hex2a, #10231

Spacemacs now tells me that it can't connect to orgmode.org:443. Could this be the cause of it?

[aaronjensen]

@benbotwin it could be the catalyst, but the cause is probably somewhere else as this is accessible for me: https://orgmode.org/elpa/

[benbot]

@aaronjensen I can get to that from my browser as well, but spacemacs is telling me it can’t connect. I’ve tried it on several different networks too and it hasn’t changed.

[aaronjensen]

What version of emacs? Is it true with emacs -Q?

[benbot]

What do I after running emacs -Q?

Sorry, I'm not super emacs savy

[aaronjensen]

Try evaling (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") (you can use M-: to eval something)

[benbot]

I got this

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Could not create connection to orgmode.org:443")
  signal(error ("Could not create connection to orgmode.org:443"))
  error("Could not create connection to %s:%d" "orgmode.org" 443)

  eval((url-retrieve-synchronously "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") nil)
  eval-expression((url-retrieve-synchronously "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") nil nil 127)
  funcall-interactively(eval-expression (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") nil nil 127)
  call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-expression)

But I can still get to that url from my browser.

[aaronjensen]

What version of emacs are you on? M-x emacs-version

[benbot]

I was running 27.0.50. I just installed 25.3 and it works fine. I guess 27 is buggy still.

[aaronjensen]

Oh. I'm on 26 and it works. You may want to report that bug.
