Sets out to solve a number of issues with the package management
process. Namely:
- To-be-removed packages that are simply being removed are no longer
incorrectly labeled "quelpa->elpa", but "removed" instead.
- A backend (elpa vs quelpa) column was added to the package listing
confirmation when running `doom update`.
- Doom now correctly recognizes that packages installed with a psuedonym
are installed, and will not endlessly attempt to uninstall and
reinstall them on every `doom refresh`.
- Packages declared with :built-in will no longer lose their built-in
marking if said package is not actually present in Emacs' site load
paths. i.e. if you say it's built in, Doom won't question it.
- package!'s :ignore property is now treated as a form whose evaluated
result will be used as its value.
- Use message library instead of reinventing the wheel
- Fix -d/--debug support for `bin/doom doctor`
- Add indent and autofill support to print! and format!
- Add doom-message-backend for forcing format! to use a specific backend
- Phase out anaphoric when! macro in doctor scripts, it was hardly used
- Reorganize tests into logical groups
- Report Doom initialization with more granularity
- Make better use of whitespace and indentation in output
- Use backquotes for quoting symbols in pcase (for backward
compatibility)
- Initialize Doom completely and manually (less maintanence headache and
more certain to work across Doom updates).
- Will now warn you if both .doom.d and .config/doom exists.
- Include branch and last commit date in doctor/info, next to Doom
version.
- Issues in Doom core are now indented.
+ Bump Emacs version check to 25.3
+ Fix doctor reporting missing packages that are user-disabled
+ Add Doom core checks for over-sized cache files (a possible cause of
freezes/hangs)
+ Emit a backtrace from module doctor script errors
+ Fix doom doctor not respecting DEBUG envvar
Done to make bin/doom produce better debugger output (and more readily).
A lot of bin/doom errors aren't recurring, so it's better to produce the
full error report ASAP.
The `term.el` package defines an environment variable `EMACS` inside its shell process, containing the Emacs and term.el version, in a string that looks like this: `26.1 (term:0.96)`. This interferes with the `bin/doom` command, which expects that environment variable to be a path to an Emacs binary. Trying to run make inside a doom terminal thus gives you this error:
```
Emacs isn't installed
make: *** [Makefile:5: all] Error 1
```
This simple fix just checks if `$EMACS` looks like a term version string, and ignores it if so.
%* is unaffected by SHIFT, so using it results in Emacs loading a
buffer named "run" on startup.
In order to preserve running all supported commands directly with
the bin/doom script, change the magic string in doom.cmd to one that
is unused ("runemacs")
- Using "start" will allow the batch script to return immediately,
rather than waiting for the command to finish.
- Using "runemacs" (instead of plain "emacs") will hide the console
window that is displayed while Emacs is running
As an alternative to the -e/--emacsd options. Sometimes it is more
consistent to customize bin/doom this way. e.g.
EMACS=/another/bin/emacs DOOMDIR=~/someplace EMACSDIR=~/emacsd bin/doom install
Another refactor, again to improve the locality of doom errors and make
the data that accompanies them more useful in determining the origin and
source of issues. Also, bin/doom is now a little more informative about
how to debug errors.
