Doesn't seem to work with Spacemacs

[dmg46664]

So...

(use-package clay
  :straight (clay ...

Doesn't work with Spacemacs, which won't support the straight.el.

So instead tried

dotspacemacs-additional-packages '(
                                      (clay :location (recipe
                                                       :fetcher github
                                                       :repo "scicloj/clay.el"))
                                      )

Which seems to load in *Message*

but doesn't yield any results when loaded

That's all the time I have to try it at the moment.

Thanks, @dmg46664, that is very helpful.

The solution will probably be adding this package to MELPA.

Discussed here: https://github.com/melpa/melpa/pull/8880

The package is now in MELPA: https://melpa.org/#/clay
