Elpaca Version

Elpaca ec4befa HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD installer: 0.6 emacs-version: GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 2, aarch64-apple-darwin23.1.0, NS appkit-2487.20 Version 14.1.2 (Build 23B2091)) of 2023-12-11

Operating System

MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1

Description

There is an issue installing magit using elpaca because of recent changes to that package that now require an updated version of transient and seq. This was discussed in magit tickets like: https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/5011 , as in issue for straight (https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el/issues/964 and https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el/issues/1139) and in a ticket for elpaca that was just recently closed (#228 ).

I get that elpaca is doing what it's supposed to do by default by blocking the install of transient because it lists seq >= 2.24 as a dependency, and it doesn't just upgrade seq because it is on the elpaca-ignored-depencies list.

I had attempted the solution suggested by @jeromeag in #228 ... adding (use-package seq) before finding that ticket, but unfortunately it causes the following warning (reproducible using the init.el and early-init.el they provided with that one line added) to be consistently thrown:

⛔ Warning (emacs): seq loaded before Elpaca activation

Would you mind suggesting solutions for using elpaca to upgrade seq that don't throw that error? With magit being a pretty popular package, it might be worth throwing an example of the 'best practices' for this in the readme.

Thanks.

Not a problem. I hope to make things easier with regards to package versions in the future. Thanks for the kind words and using the package.
