## Pinning packages
By default, Prelude will install packages from the melpa and gnu package
repositories. Occasionally package integration can break when upgrading packages.
This can be avoided by pinning packages to stable versions in other repositories.
By default, Prelude will install packages from the MELPA and GNU ELPA package
repositories. Occasionally package integration can break when upgrading packages,
as the packages in the MELPA repository are all snapshot builds.
This can be avoided by pinning packages to stable versions in other repositories (e.g. MELPA Stable).
To do so, copy `prelude-pinned-packages.el` from the sample directory to
Prelude's root directory and adjust the [variables](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Package-Installation.html)
inside accordingly.
