Interesting; thank you and Dmitry for confirming my impression.
This was perhaps the most surprising aspect of the equation IMO,
although now it does not sound so bad since, IIUC from reading
package.el, _once_ users manage to install eglot from ELPA (using
Philip's pending user option), _then_ either method should let them
fetch future upgrades transparently.
(
Took me a couple of minutes to reach that conclusion; found it mildly
confusing that package-update-all and package-menu-mark-upgrades each
have their own heuristics for enumerating candidates. IIUC the former
iterates through package-alist; the latter looks at all *Packages*
lines with status ∈ '("installed" "dependency" "unsigned" "external").
So once eglot becomes "installed" under package-user-dir, both methods
should allow users to stay on top of new versions… ?
Hope that's not my optimism skewing my reading of the code.
)
(
Neither here nor there, but this whole discussion reminds me of
bug#59005, where another :core package (transient) gets silently
updated from ELPA if it's a dependency of a package that the user asks
to install (magit). Assuming (a) I correctly understand what that
other bug report is about (b) I correctly understand what Philip's
patch does, ISTM that it will cause a behaviour change in that
situation too?
Not wholly sure about (a) nor (b) though, and even then, not wholly
sure that the change would be for the worse, especially since there
would now be a user option to make the desired behaviour explicit.
