now I have exhausted my efforts on trying to solve the contacting host: http://elpa.gnu.org:80 issue
the biggest selling point of spacemacs is that it ships a super extensive evil-mode
configuration
@progzilla: what are you trying to achieve?
@jethroksy am trying to refresh my packages but it gets hanged at contacting host: http://elpa.gnu.org. http://gnu.org
@progzilla: is this from a fresh install? can you try running 'emacs -q' in terminal and run M-x package-list-packages
@progzilla: what is the value of package-archives? C-h v package-archives
@progzilla: this is probably not an emacs issue, could be your internet connection. If you're really having troubles with package.el you could try Cask or el-get and see if you have any luck, but i doubt they'll solve your problem
i dont know, if it was windows it's would probably be in your settings somewhere. /shrug
anyway, you could eval this in a scratch buffer and find out if emacs is allowed to access the internet...
