Repo clone discrepancy #2

Closed accidentally-altoid closed 10 years ago

EDIT: Immediately after I posted this issue I noticed that you had pushed another commit to the /elpa to fix the ido issue about 7 hours ago, explaining the error last night and why it worked when I tried cloning again today to reproduce the error.

I really should check the latest commits and closed issues before submitting new issues. I'm still getting the hang of github, I didn't notice the earlier, closed issue.

Thanks for making this repo extension, sorry to waste anybody's time. I suppose I'll leave this for posterity.

Hi there,

I had a bit of an issue with setting this up last night but I tried again today and it worked fine, without doing anything different.

Specifically: last night after I cloned the repo and fired up emacs again, the process made it about halfway through installing the extra packages before it stopped and threw an error along the lines of:

"Symbol's value as variable is void: ido-ubiquitous-default-command-overrides"

;;Sorry, I forgot to save the actual error or the debug backtrace I ran.

I checked the init.el and user.el and it didn't seem like you had made any obvious changes to the original files you forked that would cause this error, so I was really confused.

I tried cloning the repo again today to reproduce the error so I could contact you but it ended up working just fine.

I noticed that for some reason, last night's clone only received 43 objects vs. today's successful clone of 53 objects.

remote: Counting objects: 43, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (28/28), done. remote: Total 43 (delta 13), reused 41 (delta 11) Unpacking objects: 100% (43/43), done.

versus:

remote: Counting objects: 53, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (34/34), done. remote: Total 53 (delta 17), reused 50 (delta 14) Unpacking objects: 100% (53/53), done.

So I'm guessing this might be better posed as a git issue than an issue specific to your repository.

I went and checked my .emacs.d/elpa and noticed that today I'm fairly certain that I received a different ido package (ido-ubiquitous-0.7).

I'm kind of new to emacs and git. I'm honestly really confused as to what happened. I realize this issue might be better suited for SO but I was hoping you could shed some light on it. If this is an inappropriate place to post this please let me know.

Thanks for your time,

Martin H

Thanks for the report! This was indeed reported as #1. The issue was that ido-ubiquitous was updated with a bug some time very recently, perhaps yesterday, and emacs was pulling that version down. I've added an older version to the repo so that folks like yourself won't run into the problem. Other emacs kits like prelude were affected as well. Sorry for the confusion, and please let me know if there's anything else I can clear up :)
