Browse the Emacsmirror package database

This package provides access to a local copy of the Emacsmirror package database. It provides low-level functions for querying the database and a package.el-like user interface for browsing the available packages.

The Emacsmirror is a growing collection of Emacs Lisp packages. All mirrored packages are available as Git repositories. In most cases this is done by mirroring the upstream Git repository, but if upstream uses something else, then the mirror nevertheless makes the package available as a Git repository.

One primary purpose of the Emacsmirror is to provide a comprehensive list of available Emacs packages, including packages which have gone out of fashion (but might later prove to be useful still).

For more information see the manual and the Emacsmirror.
