package--compile with async selects compile log buffer

[michael-heerdegen]

This is different from the vanilla behavior and annoying. When you upgrade packages with the adviced package--compile, you are queried in the minibuffer if the old versions should be removed (normal), but unlike vanilla Emacs, the compile log buffer is selected then, you have to switch back manually to the minibuffer.

Another difference to vanilla Emacs is that we generate a new compile log buffer for every compiled package. After upgrading multiple packages, you see only the compile log of the last compiled package. This is not so useful. Is this intended to allow support multiple compilations in parallel?

Should be fixed now.

Thanks.

Unless you use special-display* for compile buffer, now the compile buffer should not be selected anymore.

BTW, you can use `helm-list-elisp-packages' to upgrade, use M-I to show installed packages, you will see duplicates, mark the old versions and delete, then M-x helm-resume and mark the uninstalled packages in list and install them.

Thanks so far. I'll test it as soon as some packages are to be upgraded.

That doesn't seem very intuitive. It would be better if I could directly upgrade.

Upgrade is not implemented yet, PR welcome ;-)

Seems this works now. But another thing is irritating now. After compilation has finshed, the echo area shows the last compilation message:

Directory `/home/micha/...' compiled asynchronously with success

This hides the minibuffer prompting for whether to delete the old package versions. Only manual intervention makes the minibuffer visisble.

I think it works well now, thanks.
