Elpaca Version

Description

Thank you for the prompt response on the previous support request! As I continue to migrate from straight.el to elpaca, I continue to find some issues. Here is the output of my elpaca log,

Package	Status	Info	Time ▼
latex	failed	Unable to determine repo dir: (error "Cannot determine URL from recipe: (:source nil :protocol https :inherit t :depth 1 :package \"latex\")")	00.425704
auctex	failed	elpaca--queue-dependencies: (error "Unable to find main elisp file for \"auctex\"")	00.576205
org-roam-bibtex	failed	bibtex-completion installed version (1 0 0) lower than min required 2.0.0	00.592542

Here is my relevant configuration for each of them,

auctex & latex:


(use-package auctex
:ensure t)

(use-package latex
:ensure t
:hook ((LaTeX-mode . prettify-symbols-mode))
:bind (:map LaTeX-mode-map
            ("C-S-e" . latex-math-from-calc))
:config
;; Format math as a Latex string with Calc

  "Evaluate `calc' on the contents of line at point."
  (interactive)
  (cond ((region-active-p)
         (let* ((beg (region-beginning))
                (end (region-end))
                (string (buffer-substring-no-properties beg end)))
           (kill-region beg end)
           (insert (calc-eval `(,string calc-language latex
                                        calc-prefer-frac t
                                        calc-angle-mode rad)))))
        (t (let ((l (thing-at-point 'line)))
             (end-of-line 1) (kill-line 0)
             (insert (calc-eval `(,l
                                  calc-language latex
                                  calc-prefer-frac t
                                  calc-angle-mode rad))))))))


2. `org-roam-bibtex`:

(use-package org-roam-bibtex :ensure t :after org-roam)



I've only made modifications to `:ensure` portion while moving from `straight.el`, otherwise they are the same portion.

Thank you for the prompt response on the previous support request! As I continue to migrate from straight.el to elpaca, I continue to find some issues. Here is the output of my elpaca log,

You're welcome.

| latex | failed | Unable to determine repo dir: (error "Cannot determine URL from recipe: (:source nil :protocol https :inherit t :depth 1 :package \"latex\")") | 00.425704 |

This is due to the fact that there is no recipe for a "latex" package provided by any of elpaca-menu-functions. That's because "latex" is a sub-feature of the "auctex" package. A general explanation of this warning can be found on the warnings and errors wiki page. You'll want to add :ensure nil for latex.

| auctex | failed | elpaca--queue-dependencies: (error "Unable to find main elisp file for \"auctex\"") | 00.576205 |

Auctex requires a :pre-build recipe keyword. I have plans to possibly provide a menu item which includes a more complete recipe, but for now you can manually specify the recipe here:

https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca/issues/191#issuecomment-1870453017

If the recipe doesn't work, search the elpaca-log for errors during the :pre-build step. A common mistake is not having the required system binaries installed.

| org-roam-bibtex | failed | bibtex-completion installed version (1 0 0) lower than min required 2.0.0 | 00.592542 |

This is due the fact that the maintainer has published a 2.0.0 version of bibtex-completion, but did not bump the Version: package header field.

https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex/blob/bf184cc311c9e1724f8b2eaf75b9e202c3aedd16/bibtex-completion.el#L7

You should open an issue upstream with the package maintainer to remind them to bump it. In the mean time, Elpaca is flexible enough to work around this. See the recipe in the test case below. It uses the :depth, :version, and :version-regexp keywords to report the version as indicated by the latest git tag. I plan on improving the situation here as well (Elisp versioning is a mess).

Test Case

[How to run this test?](https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca/wiki/Troubleshooting#the-elpaca-test-macro) ```emacs-lisp (elpaca-test :early-init (setq elpaca-menu-functions '(elpaca-menu-melpa)) :init (elpaca (bibtex-completion :version elpaca--latest-tag :version-regexp "[.[:digit:]]+" :depth nil)) (elpaca-wait) (with-current-buffer (elpaca-info 'bibtex-completion) (print (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max))))) ```

You can use the above recipe in a use-package declaration like so:

(use-package bibtex-completion
  :ensure ( :version elpaca--latest-tag
            :version-regexp "[.[:digit:]]+"
            :depth nil))

Does that help?

This is due the fact that the maintainer has published a 2.0.0 version of bibtex-completion, but did not bump the Version: package header field.

I don't think it's bibtex-completions version header that's wrong, but org-roam-bibtex's dependency field. The other components of the completions repo all also depend on 1.0.0.

~~Did something in elpaca change how versions are checked? Because this issue definitely newer than any header changes in either package.~~

\Edit: actually I might have manually edited the dependency in the source file before.

Your workaround didn't work for me since it sets the version to 0? However in the dirtiest of workarounds this:

(use-package bibtex-completion
  :ensure (:version (lambda (x) "2.0.0")))

works.

Long story short:

GNU ELPA uses the "Version" package header field to detect when a version has been bumped to release a new build. MELPA detects when a new tag (possibly matching a :version-regexp in the package recipe) has been pushed to build a new release.

A few authors have taken to using git tags exclusively to denote release versions. Unfortunately, this necessitates a full clone of the repository to determine the version for a given ref.

Then you have the case here where there is conflicting information. The package Version claims "1.0.0", but the latest build on MELPA stable claims version "2.0.0". Elpaca tries the Version header before it tries the tags, so it ends up reporting the incorrect version in this case.

~~Did something in elpaca change how versions are checked? Because this issue definitely newer than any header changes in either package.~~

Elpaca did not check that dependency min version requirements were satisfied prior to 85bfd9843327801ef07afc435434da3df0a1895c.

\Edit: actually I might have manually edited the dependency in the source file before.

Your workaround didn't work for me since it sets the version to 0? However in the dirtiest of workarounds this:

Check the output of the full recipe with M-x elpaca-info bibtex-completion. Do the :depth, :version, and :version-regexp values match the values in the test case I provided? The test case correctly reports installed version: 2.0.0 bf184cc. If the recipe looks good, try M-x elpaca-delete-ing and re-installing bibtex-completion.

(use-package bibtex-completion
  :ensure (:version (lambda (x) "2.0.0")))

works.

That's not a satisfactory workaround because it will require you to bump the version manually. I'd recommend the solution in the test case.

I have plans to add a menu with recipes for all these "naughty" packages which should shift some recipe maintenance burden from Elpaca users to me :).

einsiedlerspiel commented 9 months ago

I needed to delete the existing build and repo files, now it works, thanks :).

MELPA detects when a new tag (possibly matching a :version-regexp in the package recipe) has been pushed to build a new release.

So the issue with bibtex-completion specifically seems to be that there are three MELPA packages (helm-*, ivy-* and bibtex-completion) living in that repo with independent version numbers in their header but the git tag corresponds to the helm package specifically.

— Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe. You are receiving this because you commented.

Yes. Either they would have to add a :version-regexp to each MELPA recipe for the independent packages, or keep the version in sync for all of them.

2. `org-roam-bibtex`, I had to delete `bibtex-completion` (which also meant both `org-ref` and `org-roam-bibtex`) before it worked for me.

(use-package bibtex-completion :ensure ( :version elpaca--latest-tag :version-regexp "[.[:digit:]]+" :depth nil))

(use-package org-roam-bibtex :ensure t :after org-roam :config (require 'org-ref))
