evil-magit not available on MELPA #90

Closed janmasrovira closed 3 years ago

janmasrovira commented 3 years ago

The melpa page for evil-magit (https://melpa.org/#/evil-magit) says "Package not found: evil-magit".

Consequently, when I try: M-x package-install RET evil-magit, it does not work.

Check the first line of the readme. This package was merged with evil-collection

janmasrovira commented 3 years ago

I missinterpreted what it is meant by unmaintained in the readme. I thought that it was meant that no updates were coming but you could still use this library.

justbur commented 3 years ago

Technically you can but it will conflict with evil-collection which is also on melpa. There was another issue about this so I decided to remove it from melpa as well.

janmasrovira commented 3 years ago

It makes sense. I'm affected by this since I use the git layer of spacemacs, which has not been updated to use evil-collection yet. Thus I imagine that a non-negligible amount of people will face this issue as well. I think it would be worth to explicitely mention on the readme that this package is no longer on Melpa.

Sure I can do that. I submitted the PR to have it removed a little while ago but had no control over when it actually happened.

For spacemacs users, go into your .emacs.d and pull latest spacemacs version to get an updated git-layer, thus avoiding errors related to yout git-layer referring to evil-magit.
