Which package manager should I use?

• consult

  91 1,106 9.0 Emacs Lisp

  :mag: consult.el - Consulting completing-read

They're still coming in. This one is from yesterday: https://github.com/minad/consult/issues/793

• straight.el

  70 2,650 6.0 Emacs Lisp

  🍀 Next-generation, purely functional package manager for the Emacs hacker.

  

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• emacs-overlay

  34 459 10.0 Nix

  Bleeding edge emacs overlay [maintainer=@adisbladis]

  

Nix offers the same advantage through the use of emacs-overlay. Besides, Nixpkgs contains more Linux packages than any other distros. Depending on the user's needs, Nix is another option.

• compat

  8 60 8.0 Emacs Lisp

  COMPATibility Library for Emacs Lisp

  

Exactly, I think printing a loud warning is a perfectly acceptable solution. The note should ideally tell the user to ensure that dependencies are met. It makes sense to teach users a little better about the limitations of Straight or Elpaca with respect to dependency handling since I've seen many reports across the ecosystem where people didn't properly update dependencies. I usually bump dependencies when I really need new functionality. In particular with our Compat package, versions are meaningful and should be respected.
