pbmacs-repro

This Emacs configuration makes it easy to reproduce bugs in 3rd party packages using straight.el as the package manager.

Get and run it

git clone https://github.com/pdbrown/pbmacs-repro
cd pbmacs-repro
git submodule init && git submodule update
emacs -Q --load init.el

straight.el

Install packages

Once init.el is loaded, install a package and its dependencies with, for example:

M-x straight-use-package RET cider RET

Lockfile

Straight clones requested packages to ./straight/repos. Write a lockfile to record exact versions with

C-u M-x straight-freeze-versions

The lockfile is written to ./straight/versions/default.el. If a lockfile is present, straight will install listed versions instead of the latest.
