This repo has gone.

[pekhee]

This is a clean install and OME can't get everything it needs because of this error. So what should we do about this?

[xuchunyang]

It seems el-get use the git version of ack-and-a-half in OME (the url is assigned in the El-get package section of core/ome-advanced.org), am I right here?

ack-and-a-half has remove once in the past according this issue https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/issues/722#issue-46603471 the solution is looking for a replaced repo.

[xuchunyang]

Maybe we should just replace ack-and-a-half with other alternative.

[xiaohanyu]

Just came back from a vocation, will handle this soon.

[xuchunyang]

The ack-and-a-half package is not maintained anymore, its author has confirmed this, see https://github.com/jhelwig/where-are-my-repos

A good alternate is https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el.

[xiaohanyu]

Fixed, thanks @xuchunyang very much. Sorry for my late response.
