joseph@mx:~$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 26.1

package-archives’s value is
(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/";)
 ("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/";)
 ("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/";)
 ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/";))
Original value was 
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";))

  This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.

Documentation:
An alist of archives from which to fetch.
The default value points to the GNU Emacs package repository.

Each element has the form (ID . LOCATION).
 ID is an archive name, as a string.
 LOCATION specifies the base location for the archive.
  If it starts with "http(s):", it is treated as an HTTP(S) URL;
  otherwise it should be an absolute directory name.
  (Other types of URL are currently not supported.)

Only add locations that you trust, since fetching and installing
a package can run arbitrary code.

You can customize this variable.

This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
version 26.1 of Emacs.
