post value for package :step property is both useless and considered
harmful. It would hijack the determinism of the loading order.
'pre value is used very very rarely and I even think it is not even
used since most of the time a package that must be loaded in pre step
is a bootstrap package. But we keep 'pre since it can be useful to
have it for _exceptional_ cases.
While doing the tests I encountered an edge case where a package owned
by the dotfile could be passed either a 'private or 'local location
which is ambiguous (moreover where do we put packages with 'local
location ?).
We remove the ambiguity by removing the 'private value and push the
path ~/.emacs.d/private/local/pkg/ when the owner of a local
package PKG is the dotfile.
When the owner of a local package is a layer then the load path is
in the "local" subdirectory of the layer directory. It adds no value
to use the old 'private location in this case.
This is how evil-leader gets `SPC m` to work for mode specific bindings,
and we need to mirror this step for `M-m`. This is big change, but in
order for `M-m` to work properly we need to remap it to the mode-map
whenever possible.
When the package already exists, use configuration-layer/make-package
to copy information into the existing package object.
This allows overwriting location, step and excluded, but NOT owner,
pre-layers or post-layers.
Should fix#2849. The new package-delete tries to save changes to the
selected package variable during the update process and this can cause
conflicts with how spacemacs wants to update packages (and even lead to
the .spacemacs file being deleted. This is also unnecessary, because we
are only deleting the packages temporarily to be installed at the next
boot, so there should be no need to update this variable.
This change only affects Emacs 25 users.
Instead of error, show a warning that the unavailable package(s) were
skipped. This should handle situations were a package is temporarily
unavailable from MELPA (or other sources).
If spacemacs encounters errors on the initial load of the user
.spacemacs file, now defaults to loading the default template.
Additionally, temporarily suspends pruning of orphan packages to make it
easier for users to recover after they fix their dotfile.
Previously, errors would cause the spacemacs boot process to halt,
leaving users with an almost stock emacs configuration. Now, users will
have a default spacemacs available to them to fix the error.
