How can we use the build-in version org #28

Closed ifinkelstein closed 1 year ago

Hello and thanks for a phenomenal emacs distro!

How can we prevent straight from cloning and building org? I am trying to use the built-in org (9.5.5) because the latest org breaks org-roam (see https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/issues/2361#issue-1793138787)

I've attempted to follow the straight README by including this right below the straight bootstrap code: (straight-use-package '(org :type built-in))

I also have the following in lem-setup-org-base.el:

(use-package org
  :straight (:type built-in) ;; let straight handle this, but use built-in
...

Launching lambda emacs with the -minimal switch doesn't attempt to clone and build org.

However, allowing all lem and user packages results in straight cloning/building org, possibly as a dependency of another package. In those cases, M-x org-version returns Org mode version 9.7-pre (release_9.6.7-570-gd6f3ae @ /Users/ilya/.config/emacs-lambda/var/straight/build/org/)

M-x lem-emacs-version returns

GNU Emacs 29.0.90 (build 2, aarch64-apple-darwin22.4.0, NS appkit-2299.50 Version 13.3 (Build 22E252)) of 2023-05-12

As a follow-up, perhaps you may want to default to built-in org and allow a switch for letting straight handle it.

There isn't anything special about how I pull in org via straight, so if you want to use the built-in org, then just follow the straight directions by, for example, pinning packages.

I am going to just switch over to using the built-in package manager when Emacs 29 is officially released, as that will include the ability to pull from vc repositories and hosting like github. You can also just use that branch (package.el branch) now if you prefer.

Ah, ok. That's what I've been doing. Dropping straight as a requirement will make a lot of sense once Emacs 29 is out.

Should be soon: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2023-07/msg00704.html
