[BUG] Issue with elpa Folder Deletion #127

Closed ehsanirani closed 9 months ago

ehsanirani commented 9 months ago

Describe the bug Hello,

I've encountered an issue after pulling the latest commits. Each time I run Emacs with this version, the elpa folder is unexpectedly deleted. It leads to reinstalling all the packages that I added to my config every time I run emacs. This behavior was not observed in the previous version 3.6.1. Could there be a change in the latest commits that might be causing this issue?

By the way, I wanted to express my appreciation for your work on minemacs. It's been an excellent tool. Great config!

Thanks!

Emacs version GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 3, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.37, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2023-03-20

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a elpa folder in .emacs.d
  2. Check it is deleted after a while

Expected behavior elpa folder should stays in the .emacs.d folder

Hello @ehsanirani

Thank you for the feedback. Yep, I intentionally added a function which I call in init.el to cleanup the .emacs.d directory (removes elpa among other directories).

MinEmacs uses straight.el to install packages, the elpa directory is where the builtin package installs packages. It is not recommended to use two packages managers in the same configuration.

I've taken a look into your dotfiles repo, you need to use :straight t instead of :ensure t in your use-package blocks. Like in here:
