Magic to prevent refreshing package archives failure

Refresh

Workflow automatically downloads package archives and stores them here.

NOTE: It will refresh every 1 hour(s).

❓ Why do we need this?

When sandboxing during Emacs package development, we might need to call package-refresh-contents multiple times due to the newly set up environment. While Eask already minimizes unnecessary refreshes, you may still encounter 404 errors from the archive servers (elpa, melpa, etc.). This typically happens when the server temporarily blocks your IP after too many requests within a short period. In such cases, you’ll need to wait a few minutes (depending on the server) for your IP to be unblocked.

This is where the archives comes in! Eask helps you avoid this situation by downloading the archive-contents files when a 404 is encountered. In other words, your package refreshes will never fail. 🎉
