MELPA has two new experimental channels with better version strings! And soon you might have your very own ELPA too! https://emacsair.me/2026/07/03/melpa-channels/

@tarsius@fosstodon.org Thank you for this Jonas! 🚀 🙏 I switched to the new *snaphshots* channel today, following your instructions to force reinstallation. But the packages seem the same as before. Is it possible that I have to delete the `.emacs.d/elpa` directory, instead of copying it? Or maybe it's because I byte-compiled the packages? For instance, this is what I see for the `nyan` package, after restarting Emacs, `M-x package-refresh-contents`, and `M-x package-install-selected-packages` – note the "Other versions" at the end: ``` Package nyan-mode is installed. Status: Installed in ‘nyan-mode-20220408.2334/’ (unsigned). Delete Version: 20220408.2334 Commit: 09904af23adb839c6a9c1175349a1fb67f5b4370 Summary: Nyan Cat shows position in current buffer in mode-line Requires: emacs-24.1 Website: https://github.com/TeMPOraL/nyan-mode/ Keywords: convenience games mouse multimedia Maintainer: Jacek "TeMPOraL" Zlydach Author: Jacek "TeMPOraL" Zlydach Other versions: 1.1.3.0.20220408.8 (melpa). ``` #emacs
