Emacs 30 breaks use-package integration for use-package forms which use `:straight nil`

[emacswatcher]

What's wrong

Starting after build from git source commit ecdd3a9efac3e56850ce10260747c158865f9378 (i.e. today) produces these errors. None of them occurred in 28.2.

Please note that all of these use :straight nil in their use-package forms because they are either built-in or encapsulate inline symbols.

Also, as seen below, I use the latest bootstrap and switch to the develop branch in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list issue as documented in

https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/emacs-native-comp-log/

⛔ Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/emacswatcher/.emacs.d/early-init.el’:

Symbol's value as variable is void: native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace.

Also, as seen below, I use the latest bootstrap and switch to the develop branch in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list issue as documented in https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/emacs-native-comp-log/

The fix for this has since been merged to the master branch. So no need to switch to the develop branch. Please see: https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el/issues/1073

M-x straight-version will help you know if you're running a version of straight which includes the patch mentioned above.

use-package is bundled with Emacs 30. Please see: https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el/issues/1035

@raxod502 : We've had several duplicate issues for these two, so I've pinned them for now.

[raxod502]

Sounds good, thank you!

[bestlem]

Ok straight-version tells you what version straight is. Mine is out of date.

How do yopu update straight.el? Is it the same as other packages?

[raxod502]

Yes.
