With an empty .emacs.d directory and nonexistent .emacs.el init file,
installing magit with 'M-x package-install RET magit RET' pulls
transient from elpa. You can see it installed into ~/.emacs.d/elpa/.

Perhaps transient should be added to finder--builtins-alist?

That wouldn't be surprising when using Melpa.  But that archive is not
listed in the default value of `package-archives'.  What is its value
of that variable for you and what version of magit gets installed?

>> Perhaps transient should be added to finder--builtins-alist?

The purpose of doing that would be to ensure that `transient' gets its
own entry in `package--builtins' (but because it consists of a single
library it would be the wrong mechanism for doing so).  Since transient
already has such an entry in `package--builtins' anyway, doing this
would not change anything.

> Jonas, any comments here?

This is weird.  Maybe it is related to the following, which I also
cannot explain:

Subject: [NonGNU-devel ELPA] Tarball build failure for magit
Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2022 05:05:50 -0500

The build scripts failed to build the tarball
for version 3.3.0snapshot0.20221125.2110 of the package magit.
You can consult the latest error output in the file
"magit-build-failure.txt" in the NonGNU-devel ELPA archive web site.

You can also try and reproduce the error locally as follows:

    git clone --single-branch git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/nongnu.git
    cd nongnu
    make                 # Setup the infrastructure
    make packages/magit  # Create a worktree of the package
    make build/magit     # Build the tarballs into archive(-devel)/

## The current error output was the following:

======== Building tarball archive-devel/magit-3.3.0snapshot0.20221125.2110.tar...

(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
 ("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/"))

and magit-3.3.0

More detailed bug recipe:

$ mkdir /tmp/emacs-tmp
$ HOME=/tmp/emacs-tmp src/emacs  # or just "emacs"

M-x package-install RET magit RET:
Emacs installs magit-3.3.0, most likely from nongnu elpa.

C-h v package-archives RET:
package-archivesis a variable defined in ‘package.el’.

Its value is
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
 ("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/"))

$ cd /tmp/emacs-tmp/.emacs.d/elpa

That is indeed the case.  The issue was triggered by a change to
elpa-admin.el, the addition of version checks, which takes pre-releases.
into account.  The root cause is a mismatch between how `version<' et
al. treat suffixes like "-git" and how I use "N-git" to mean "this is
not N, it is an arbitrary commit that comes after that".  I am in
communication with Stefan to decide how to deal with that.

By chance, could there be a relation of this to my bug#59652?  Dunno why
that one does not get any attention, it seems not that minor to me.

I ask because "transient" rings a bell (it is also a package that is
often related to trouble in my scenario).

Michael.

No, I changed the "suffix" from "-git" to ".50-git", using both the
emacs specific not-a-release ".50" suffix and the "-git" suffix, whose
meaning apparently is up for discussion.  Using both suffixes works for
me, because all my version strings used for releases always have exactly
three parts, M.m.p.  I can use ".50" as the forth part for non-releases,
because I know I will never tack on a forth part ".0" when creating a
release.

1.2.3-git (*)  <  1.2.3  =  1.2.3.0 (*)  <  1.2.3.50-git  <  1.2.4

  (*) not used by me

[ Off-topic, but unlike version< et al., my vcomp.el, supports both pre
  and patch releases:

  1.2.3pre1 < 1.2.3 < 1.2.3-patch1

  The patch part can also be something like "-git" or "-1"; the dash is
  key.  The latter means it supports the "Debian package version number
  format".

What kind of trouble?  Packaging trouble I assume.

Yes: when updating packages from the package manager, dependencies are
sometimes in effect deleted instead of updated.  This is often
"transient", but that could be coincidental (because it gets regular
updates maybe).

No one seems to care about this problem so far.  Looking at package.el I
don't see a recent change that looks like it could have such an effect.
But since I did not get any help so far, I can only ask around...

Thanks,

Michael.

I have seen this, also with transient, and more recently with "compat",
and found it very annoying. I think I solved it by explicitly
uninstalling transient and everything that depended on it, and then
re-installing -- I haven't seen the problem since. Come to think of it
compat was also a Magit dependency, so I wonder if something about
Magit's package definition changed? Anyway I haven't seen this for a
while, so I forgot about it.

I was not so lucky.  Another package where the issue frequently appears
seems to be helm-core.  I guess a change in one package cannot explain
everything.

Maybe something in the Gnu Elpa archive?


Michael.
