Subject: bug#63800: 30.0.50; [ELPA] Inaccurate installation instructions for built-in packages
Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 08:05:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mt1mi6ry.fsf@localhost> (raw)
Hi,
All the Emacs packages distributed via ELPA share the same installation
instruction:
To install this package, run in Emacs:
M-x package-install RET <package-name> RET
However, this command will fail for built-in packages. This is
particularly a problem for older (<29) Emacs versions.
May the instruction be corrected?
Original discussion is for Org, but the same will apply for other
packages distributed with Emacs. https://orgmode.org/list/878rdbwlf3.fsf@localhost
