[Philip Kaludercic]

Thank you for all these stack traces, I have managed to reproduce and

Ok, new info :-)

1. package-vc-update is unusable when first run emacs.

2. when I run 'package-vc-install pyim' twice, package-list-package
"*Packages*" buffer will show pyim twice, is it a feature or bug? like:

```
  wrap-region                    20140117.720   dependency            Wrap text with punctation or tag
  pyim                           16f7c3cf0736a65d8af0c8ba8396343dbd17e368 source                A Chinese input method support quanpin, shuangpin, wubi, cangjie and rime.
  pyim                           16f7c3cf0736a65d8af0c8ba8396343dbd17e368 source                A Chinese input method support quanpin, shuangpin, wubi, cangjie and rime.
  allout                         2.3            built-in              extensive outline mode for use alone and with other modes
  allout-widgets                 1.0            built-in              Visually highlight allout outline structure.

```

In this time, when I run package-delete pyim, show

```
Error in post-command-hook (package-menu--post-refresh): (file-missing
"Opening directory" "没有那个文件或目录" 
"/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/pyim")
```

which mean have no "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/pyim" file or directory.


3. package-vc-install-from-checkout is unusable, I use vertico. show:

```
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (cl-assertion-failed (dir nil))
  cl--assertion-failed(dir)
  package-vc--unpack-1(#s(package-desc :name pyim :version nil :summary "No description available." :reqs nil :kind vc :archive nil :dir nil :extras nil :signed nil) "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/pyim")
  package-vc-install-from-checkout("/home/feng/projects/emacs-packages/pyim/" "pyim")
  funcall-interactively(package-vc-install-from-checkout "/home/feng/projects/emacs-packages/pyim/" "pyim")
  call-interactively(package-vc-install-from-checkout record nil)
  command-execute(package-vc-install-from-checkout record)

  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "package-vc-install-from-checkout" nil)

  debug(error (file-already-exists "File already exists" "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/pyim"))

  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "package-vc-install-from-checkout" nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

```

Unusable in what sense?  The command is not auto-loaded, so you need to

  M-x load-library RET package-vc RET

No, that was a bug I assumed was resolved... I'll take a look at it
again.

This and the other two issues should be fixed on the branch.  Note that
I have updated it and rebased it onto master, so you might need to do a

I am still uncertain what you mean when you say that package-vc-update
is not usable.  When that is fixed, I'll be able to apply the changes
onto master.

Good job, I do not test new code today, but I have a question:
If I run package-vc-install pyim, then I run
package-vc-install-from-checkout /path/to/pyim.git, what will happened?

I would expect an error to be raised, because the basename ("pyim")
would already have a directory entry in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/.  Currently
this is a generic file error, we could replace it with something else,
e.g. a user-error that indicates that the name is already used.

Do you think we should make it such?  The command is strictly speaking
not necessary, because package-update does the same thing.

I have found another issue:

If I run package-update when emacs first start, it will show error:

package-update: Symbol’s function definition is void: package-vc-update

It appears that I had assumed package-vc-update was autoloaded, when it
was in fact not autoloaded.  This comes back to the question of whether
it is worth autoloading the function or not.

You are right, but this looks like a separate bug related to
vc-prepare-patch.  I will report that.

Good job, a simple suggstion:

 Source package ‘pyim’ installed (Version 5.2.8, Revision "16f7c3cf0736a65d8af0c8ba8396343dbd17e368").

seem to too long, what about:

 Source package ‘pyim’ installed (Version 5.2.8, Revision "16f7c3").

or more info:
 
 Source package ‘pyim’ installed (Version 5.2.8, Revision "16f7c3", Commit "commit message").

That would work too, but abbreviating commits is not always correct...

How about using `format-spec' together with a user option to format the
success messages?  E.g. you could set it do "Source package `%n'
installed (Version %v, Revision %6r)".

Then again, I don't know if this issue is that important.

VC doesn't expose a convenient way of fetching commit messages from revisions.

When I install another package, for example: cnfonts, package-update do
not show cnfonts, I need to reboot emacs.

Ok, so it looks like the issue is in the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (seq-filter
    (lambda (elt)
      (or (let ((available
                 (assq (car elt) package-archive-contents)))
            (and available
                 (version-list-<
                  (package-desc-version (cadr elt))
                  (package-desc-version (cadr available)))))
          (package-vc-p (cadr (assq (car elt) package-alist)))))
    package-alist)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

specifically the

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(package-vc-p (cadr (assq (car elt) package-alist)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

We store all package descriptions in `package-alist', but here we only
check the first one (which is also the one I believe that is activated).

But after restarting Emacs, package.el makes sure that VC packages are
prioritised, so that is why the check does work later on.

The question is, what package is enabled?  I'd say that if after
installation, you run M-x find-library and end up in the MELPA
directory, then we would have to make up our mind of this is the right
thing or not.

But if the VC package is active, then we just have to make sure that it
is inserted at the beginning of the list, and not at the end.

Maybe this issue is related package dependent, I have test like below:


1. before package-vc-install

(find-library-name "popon") => "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/popon-0.12/popon.el"
(find-library-name "corfu-terminal") => "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/corfu-terminal-0.5/corfu-terminal.el"

2. package-vc-install popon

(find-library-name "popon") => "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/popon/popon.el"
(find-library-name "corfu-terminal") => "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/corfu-terminal-0.5/corfu-terminal.el"

popon item is showed when run package-vc-update.

3. package-vc-install corfu-terminal

(find-library-name "popon") => "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/popon/popon.el"
(find-library-name "corfu-terminal") => "/home/feng/.emacs.d/elpa-29/corfu-terminal/corfu-terminal.el"

package-vc-update only show corfu-terminal, and popon lost.
corfu-terminal is depend on popon.

Ok.

Makes sense, the "popon" directory has no version number.

I'll try this out, but in the future it would be useful to see the
contents of the variable `package-alist'.  This is all related to that
value.

You mean the message printed out at the end of `package-vc-update-all'?
That means that all packages have /been/ updated.  I also just noticed,
that it is printed out unconditionally, even if no VC packages have been
updated (because non are installed).

As I had assumed, "corfu-terminal" has a vc package in the cadr position
(as indicated by the "vc" after the dependency list), while
"popon" has a regular package, which confuses `package-vc-p'.

I will run a few experiments myself and report back if I have a solution.

After I install popon and corfu-terminal, and reboot emacs.

package-update show nothing, but package-vc-update-all works, after
package-vc-update-all finish, package-update will show popon and corfu-terminal.

Does it?  `package-update' updates *all* packages, not just the VC
packages.  If I understand that correctly, then I suggest we auto-load
`package-vc-update[-all]' so that the user can update *just* their VC
package[s] when they need to.

Just to avoid, confusion, we have two separate issues here: What
packages are prompted for updating, what packages a command can update.
package-vc-update prompts only VC packages, package-update prompts all
packages, always including VC packages.  But both commands always just
update a single package.

In fact, what package-update does is just check if a package is a VC
package, in which case it just calls package-vc-update.  I am actually
leaning towards removing package-vc-update, but I recognise the
convenience of package-vc-update-all and think preserving the symmetry
is preferable.
