This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.
The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.
Had to create dummy init functions at some places since the owner of a package
is the last layer that defines the init function of a package. And a package
can be installed only if it has an owner.
Magithub is a project under developement which took another direction, let's
wait for it to mature before adding it again to the GitHub layer.
To use it before it has been re-activated, add it to your dotfile in
dotspacemacs-additional-packages.
As it was, git-gutter and git-gutter+ get started as soon as emacs starts if
they're enabled. This added about 500ms to startup time on my machine, so this
will instead defer it until emacs has been idle for 5 seconds.
This replaces the older pattern
:toggle (configuration-layer/package-usedp ..)
This implementation ensures that :disabled-for honors dependent packages, i.e.
if package a depends on package b, which is owned by layer c, and layer c is
disabled for layer d, then neither package a nor b will be configured for layer
d. Previously, this was only true for package a, but not b.
This commit also fixes:
- configuration-layer/describe-package now shows which post-init and pre-init
functions are disabled, if any
- Does not recreate all layer objects unconditionally when calling
configuration-layer/discover-layers. Previously, this led to all layers being
recreated after e.g. `SPC h SPC`, without any of the dotfile information.
Since this information is now necessary for
configuration-layer/describe-package, it’s important that we don’t clear the
indexed layers when invoking this function.
problem: currently, viewing a file at a specific branch/commit, requires one to
type the magit-find-file command, at the M-x prompt
solution: SPC g f f is available and consistent with the SPC f f key binding
