Subject: package-enable-at-startup can be set via Customize (it seems), despite what the manual says
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2024 11:11:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <26434.64488.939687.129056@frac.u-strasbg.fr> (raw)


I have emacs version: GNU Emacs 29.4 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu,
GTK+ Version 3.24.42, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2024-07-16.

In the Info manual for Emacs I see "This is the ‘GNU Emacs Manual’, updated
for Emacs version 29.4"; so this seems consistent.

In section "49.3 Package Installation", I see

"To keep Emacs from automatically making packages available at startup,
change the variable ‘package-enable-at-startup’ to ‘nil’.  [...] Currently
this variable cannot be set via Customize."

but if I type 'C-h v package-enable-at-startup <RET>' I get:

package-enable-at-startup is a variable defined in ‘package.el’.  [...]
You can customize this variable.
