ack-and-a-half is gone, wgrep-ack is useless

[Dominique Dumont]

Hi

ack-and-a-half package is gone (see https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Ack).

Could you update wgrep-ack to work with ack or full-ack ?

All the best

Hello @dod38fr, I just installed wgrep 3.0.0 and wgrep-ack works as expected for me with this config:

;; https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el
(use-package ack
  :ensure t
  :custom
  (ack-vc-grep-commands nil))

;; https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-wgrep
(use-package wgrep-ack
  :ensure wgrep
  :after ack
  :custom
  (wgrep-enable-key "e")
  (wgrep-auto-save-buffer t)
  (wgrep-change-readonly-file t))

Could you perhaps shed any more light on how wgrep-ack does not work as expected?

Actually, I no longer have this issue with wgrep (or I don't remember how to reproduce it...).

Let's close this issue.

Thanks for the help.
