Can't install via Melpa due to unavailable dependencies #212

Open megodoonch opened 1 year ago

megodoonch commented 1 year ago

I tried to install this new version via Melpa, but it said some of the dependencies were unavailable, specifically the ones with version names that were long sequences of number instead of things like 0.3.2. This looks like the dependencies are just written wrong/differently, as they are in fact installed, just with different version naming.

I was able to install from Git (yay!!!), though I needed to add a faux Version heading to org-generic-id.el to get emacs to install it with package-install-file.

Interesting - I use Doom Emacs, so I don't deal with package-install-file very much. However, cask seems to recognize this format, and Melpa exports the versions with long sequences of numbers (actually the commit date).

Sorry for the delay! Earlier I spent a couple of days trying to figure out what cask is and how to use it to install this package, and finally I decided either I'd done everything wrong or cask was a way to test code, not a way to install packages. I guess the former was right! But this is mysterious that for you, melpa is exploring the commit date versions and for me it isn't. I don't know where to go from there.
