Yes. The baseline here is: "If you want to use Org, then using Emacs, GNU ELPA and NonGNU ELPA is enough. If you want to test Org, please use it from Git." -- which does not really differ from the current situation, except that we won't have Org ELPA in the mix anymore. -- Bastien

ok so org releases will be [just guesses here] - emacs core - there is a gnu elpa - there is a nongnu elpa - there is an org git correct?

No, it means 9.5 will be the last version released on Org ELPA, further bugfix releases will only be distributed through GNU ELPA. 9.5.1 won't be on Org ELPA, which will not get new releases after 9.5. I hope this is clearer now, thanks for asking, -- Bastien

It this is considered important. Jean
Re: Shutting down Org ELPA: No new release of Org on Org ELPA after Org 9.5
Thanks Bastien. To clarify, does this mean org 9.6 will be the first version only released via GNU elpa (i.e. bug fixes for 9.5 will still be released via Org elpa e.g. 9.5.1)?

Shutting down Org ELPA: No new release of Org on Org ELPA after Org 9.5
Hi all, over the years, Org ELPA at https://orgmode.org/elpa/ has been useful to make it possible to install Org and Org+Contrib as ELPA packages, but maintaining a separate ELPA space just for Org is not necessary. Org 9.5 will be the last release to be distributed on Org ELPA. After 9.5, we won't use Org ELPA for new releases. Past releases will still be available, though maybe not indefinitely. The Org package will continue to be available through GNU ELPA (from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/) and a new Org-Contrib package will be available from https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/. Only stable releases will be distributed through both GNU and NonGNU ELPA repositories. For those who want to test the unstable version of Org, please install Org from Git: ~$ git clone https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git See https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation If you used Org ELPA and are affected by this change, please tell us if this change affects you. Thanks! -- Bastien
