Adding Marmalade as Package Source

Question

I\'m trying to add Marmalade as a package source, but when I do so I get the error:Symbol\'s value as variable is void: package-archives. Anyone know how to res

Answer 1

Use the package.el to be included with emacs24, as the ELPA version doesn't include package-archives and support for multiple repositories.

It is found here (emacs24!): http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/annotate/head:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el

Last emacs23 compatible version: http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob/ba08b24186711eaeb3748f3d1f23e2c2d9ed0d09:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el

Drop it into your loadpath and settle for one type of loading (that is drop the lines after the comment).
