Another emacs thread with no mention[1] of straight.el. How do people sanely manage their emacs configurations without it? Is there a way to pin dependency versions that you get from MELPA or ELPA? Otherwise one risks one's setup completely breaking with a new dependency release and having no way of getting back to the old configuration!
[1] OK, one brief mention
- NateEag 6y agoI have some code to run an update then commit every package individually. That way I can always get back to any previous state and I can use git bisect to find the culprit when a package update causes a regression of some kind.
- daptaq 6y agoSimple: You use ELPA or MELPA Stable, and if necessary clone the repo and install the package via M-x package-install-file.
- tome 6y agoHmm, but as I understand it neither ELPA nor MELPA can be rolled back. https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/28731/easiest-way-to-downgrade-a-package-installed-via-melpa https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/28731/easiest-way-...
