Change to compat v30 breaks installation on debian systems #223

Closed DirkSchmitt closed 3 months ago

DirkSchmitt commented 3 months ago

The change to compat v30 is IMHO to early. The version was released only 4 days ago and is not landed in mainstream distributions e.g. Debian including sid. See: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/compat-el

Please postpone this change to avoid dependency conflicts.

I don't recommend to use mixed installations, where some packages come from the system package manager and others come from ELPA/MELPA. But in any case, you can install the stable version 1.3 of org-modern, which doesn't rely on the newest Compat version. You get this version from the stable GNU ELPA repository (Emacs default package repository).

I am not going to tag stable releases of my packages which rely on the newest Compat too soon, but here we are talking about the development branch. It would be counterproductive to hold the development branch back, since I also have to catch problems early. I am also maintaining Compat, so it is even more important for me to get such feedback.
