Documentation

An alist of priorities for packages.

Each element has the form (ARCHIVE-ID . PRIORITY).

When installing packages, the package with the highest version number from the archive with the highest priority is selected. When higher versions are available from archives with lower priorities, the user has to select those manually.

Archives not in this list have the priority 0, as have packages that are already installed. If you use negative priorities for the archives, they will not be upgraded automatically.

See also package-menu-hide-low-priority.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 25.1.

View in manual

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 25.1.
