-## MELPA Package
-
-The `melpa.el` package---available in MELPA--allows creating a
-whitelist or blacklist of packages for a specific repository.  This
-allows for disabling all packages from a specific repository and only
-enabling certain packages, or simply blacklist a certain subset of packages.
-
-### Configuring
-
-By default there are two variables that can be customized to specify
-which packages will be enabled (whitelist packages only) or excluded
-(blacklist of packages)
-
-
-- `package-archive-enable-alist` : Optional Alist of enabled packages
-    used by `package-filter`. The format is (ARCHIVE . PACKAGE ...),
-    where ARCHIVE is a string matching an archive name in
-    `package-archives`, PACKAGE is a symbol of a package in ARCHIVE to
-    enable. If no ARCHIVE exists in the alist, all packages are
-    enabled.
-
-    If no ARCHIVE exists in the alist, all packages are enabled.

-- `package-archive-exclude-alist` : Alist of packages excluded by
-    `package-filter`. The format is (ARCHIVE . PACKAGE ...), where
-    ARCHIVE is a string matching an archive name in
-    `package-archives`, PACKAGE is a symbol of a package in that
-    archive to exclude. Any specified package is excluded regardless
-    of the value of `package-archive-enable-alist`

-`package-archive-enable-alist` then only packages
