  • Bug#1103911: elpa-inform-mode: New upstream, new release

    From Reuben Thomas@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 22 21:50:01 2025
    Package: elpa-inform-mode
    Severity: normal
    Tags: upstream

    I have taken over upstream from the previous maintainer, Rupert Lane.
    Upstream is now to be found at:

    https://github.com/rrthomas/inform-mode

    I have made a new release, which modernises and tidies up the code. The
    package is now available on ELPA.

    Thank you for this orderly transition, and for informing the Debian package maintainer.

    I have made a new release, which modernises and tidies up the code. The package is now available on ELPA.

    When I search at ELPA <URL: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/> with a simple keyword search “inform”, no such package is found. Where is the package at ELPA now?

    Apologies, that was a typo. I meant MELPA: https://melpa.org/#/inform-mode

    Thank you, I see that entry now.

    Some questions:

    * The page states “Dependencies: emacs 29.1”; but the project Home page
    <URL: https://rrthomas.github.io/inform-mode/> states “It should work on
    GNU Emacs (v24+).”. Presumably one or both of those is wrong, and should
    be corrected?

    * The MELPA page doesn't list any history of releases; we apparently can't
    get a specific prior release from there?

    * The version at the MELPA page shows version string “20250422.1949”, which
    doesn't match the latest tag in the GitHub repository. Should that be
    “2.0.0” on the MELPA page?

    If so, the tarball name should also change so it clearly indicates that
    version string matching the release tag; e.g. ‘inform-mode-2.0.0.tar.gz’.

    Indeed: 29.1 is required. I've fixed the web page.

    * The MELPA page doesn't list any history of releases; we apparently can't

    Yes, somewhat perforce, as previous releases didn't meet MELPA standards,
    so I can't just upload them.

    * The version at the MELPA page shows version string “20250422.1949”, which
    doesn't match the latest tag in the GitHub repository. Should that be
    “2.0.0” on the MELPA page?


    No, the latter is a stable release; see
    https://stable.melpa.org/#/inform-mode

    I presume you'll want to package stable releases only.

    I've made a point release to add some commits from the original author that
    I merged post-2.0.0.
