Elpaca Version

Elpaca b8ed514 HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD installer: 0.7 emacs-version: GNU Emacs 31.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.42, cairo version 1.18.0) git --version: git version 2.45.1

Operating System

Description

Background

For some cursed reason the version of BBDB on elpa and nongnu elpa differ. The version on GNU Elpa contains a bbdb-site.el file where as the non-GNU version contains a bbdb-site.el.in file. Since elpaca doesn't seem to support this bbdb-site.el.in version I'd like to use the GNU Elpa version.

It also seems like an issue that these two packages have diverged so badly that they contain different files. The non-gnu version is missing https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=emacs/elpa.git;a=commitdiff;h=7cc844f3c52823d6ce02b884afb2d493d52e5eda and instead has https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/bbdb.git/commit/lisp?id=260513509d0047f5a6eed7b6242c329cd97a4f43

Problem

When trying to use the GNU version of this package it seems like the non-gnus version is actually installed.

(elpaca-test
  :dir "elpaca.bbdb"
  :early-init
  (setq elpaca-menu-functions '(elpaca-menu-gnu-devel-elpa))
  :init
  (pp "Enqueuing...")
  (elpaca bbdb)
  (pp "Waiting...")
  (elpaca-wait)
  (pp (shell-command-to-string (concat "cd " elpaca-repos-directory "/bbdb && git remote get-url --push origin"))))

The critical output is:

...
"https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/bbdb.git\n"
