[BUG] warning message for straight-use-package [9.6 (9.6-gb2adb6 @ /Users/stephen/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)]

[Stephen Eglen]

Hi,

I use straight.el for package management, and a recent package (I think
it was todoist.el) pulled in org-mode.  This then caused the warning
about mismatch between the org-mode in Emacs and the one from the repo.

I read the *Warning* and in particular this bit:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. New Org version is loaded using straight.el package manager and
   other package depending on Org is loaded before straight triggers
   loading of the newer Org version.

   It is recommended to put
    (straight-use-package ’org)
   early in the config.  Ideally, right after the straight.el
----------------------------------------------------------------------

so I copied the elisp straight into .emacs.  This then
generated an error, because the symbol 'org had been copied across as
’org.  

Checking the source, I see line 77 of org-macs.el has

     (straight-use-package 'org)

so I'm not sure what the fix is, but does anyone have any ideas on
providing a warning that uses the correct quote character?

Thanks, Stephen

The correct character is the usual 7-bit single quote, i.e., the line
you have here correct.

My straight.el setup is done in early-init.el rather than in .emacs. I
also have (straight-use-package 'org) in early-init.el to make sure that
org version I want (which is the one installed by straight.el) is used.
I've had this setup for years, and I have never run into another org
mode getting installed by package.el to cause problems.
