missing package

[svalaskevicius]

after an upgrade I get this error: Package php-extras is unavailable. Is the package name misspelled?

it looks like its only available in marmalade repo, but its not available and is only added like this:

 26   ;; Emacs 24.3 and above ships with python.el but in some Emacs 24.3.1 packages
 27   ;; for Ubuntu, python.el seems to be missing.
 28   ;; This hack adds marmalade repository for this case only.
 29   (unless (or (package-installed-p 'python) (version< emacs-version "24.3"))
 30     (add-to-list 'package-archives
 31                  '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")))

a) is there a quick way to enable it from user's spacemacs config?
b) wouldn't it be better to enable it for all cases? (not sure whats the reason its disabled in non python case)

Same problem

[CestDiego]

same , even though I'm using Emacs 24.5 Thing is it's a package that is not in melpa but marmalade, nad doesn't get loaded.

I'm not for mixing too much repositories since it can lead to issues, and I don't want to use the pinning functionality in spacemacs either. Since php-mode is on MELPA then php-extras should be on MELPA too if we want it to be in spacemacs layer.

I won't add marmalade or MELPA stable in spacemacs.

[CestDiego]

Then shall we take php-extras out of the layer or submit ask the mantainer to submit it to MELPA?

[syl20bnr]

I would go for increasing MELPA coverage :-)
