Description Jens Petersen 2022-07-14 15:58:24 UTC

Description of problem:
emacs was updated to version 28 recently which seems to include the transient library. I think it may be necessary to retire emacs-transient or at least
drop the dependency from emacs-magit: need to test if emacs-magit works okay
with emacs-28 perhaps.

Additional info:
emacs-28 has also been built now for F36: actually the update prompted this report -

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2022-07-14 16:00:44 UTC

I propose that emacs-common should now gain 'Obsoletes: emacs-transient < 0.3.0-4' or so.

Actually that may not be necessary: maybe we just need to handle the info file conflict?

Though emacs-28 contains transient-0.3.7: if emacs-magit is happy with that retiring might still be the better option.

Comment 3 Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho 2022-07-15 12:56:01 UTC

I agree that retiring is a better option in this case. I think there is no need to provide 2 different implementations for transient unless magit (or other packages) require newer transient versions than emacs provides.
I'd be surprised if this happens, though.

I need to better understand the retirement process: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/

Jens, what are your plans for emacs-28?  You were backporting it to Fedora 36.
Any other backports in your mind?

I think you can go ahead and retire the package from rawhide now.
(If you do it after F37 is branched you should retire f37 first and then the rawhide branch.)

I was just helping out.  Not sure if it makes sense to backport to F35, maybe not.

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2022-07-27 11:13:36 UTC

(I forgot to add that already tested that Fedora emacs-magit seems to work okay with the transient in emacs-28.1.)
