24.3; Package dependences calculated in reverse |
|
Date: |
Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:38:48 -0500 |
When `package.el' calculates package dependencies, they are installed in
the incorrect order.
Consider the rinari third-party package,
* rinari requires: ruby-mode, inf-ruby, ruby-compilation, jump
* jump requires: findr, inflections
* ruby-compilation requires: inf-ruby
Yet, the order of compilation appears to be:
1. inflections
2. findr
3. jump
4. ruby-compilation *fails missing inf-ruby*
5. inf-ruby
6. rinary *fails missing ruby-compilation*
It seems to be that the `jump' dependency of `rinari' is being installed
first, and even it's dependencies are being installed in a reverse
order.
The way that I have personally fixed this problem was to add advice to
the `package-compute-transaction' function:
(defadvice package-compute-transaction
(before
package-compute-transaction-reverse (package-list requirements)
activate compile)
"reverse the requirements"
(setq requirements (reverse requirements))
(print requirements))
It seems like there must be something in the way the requirements is
being built that means that when they are read they are done in reverse
order.

Indeed, thanks. I installed the patch below which should fix
this problem. Note that a better fix would be to first download packages,
the unpack packages, then autoload packages, then compile packages.
This way, ordering won't matter (including circular dependencies).
