Melpa package of magithub broken

[michael-heerdegen]

Hello,

I have magit and magithub installed with M-x package-list-packages. When I try to load magit (yes, magit, not magithub), I get this error:

(void-variable magit-log-edit-confirm-cancellation)

This is what's happening:

• loading magit triggers loading magithub because of

;;;###autoload
(eval-after-load 'magit
'(unless (featurep 'magithub)
(require 'magithub)))

• in magithub, there is this form:

(defcustom magithub-message-confirm-cancellation magit-log-edit-confirm-cancellation
"If non-nil, confirm when cancelling the editing of a `magithub-message-mode' buffer."
:group 'magithub
:type 'boolean)

• evaluating it raises the error because magit-log-edit-confirm-cancellation is not defined.

Maybe the variable has been removed? Dunno.

Michael.

Question, why is this closed when the MELPA install is still broken?

@jasonm23:

As far as I can tell, looking at the issue status indicator at the top of this page, this issue isn't closed. If I'm understanding things correctly, the 'Closed' indicator earlier in this thread is a reference to the issue being closed on the /magit/ repo, as the issue is not with magit itself, but with /magithub/, a distinct project.

@flexibeast thanks for clearing that up. It seems that the melpa package is still a release from July. (?)

@jasonm23:

Yes, that's the latest release I'm seeing also .... Basically I've uninstalled magithub until this issue is fixed, so that I can at least continue using magit.

I had the same problem.
It seems that saving magithub-message-confirm-cancellation from M-x customize-group RET magithub RET also works the problem around (I guess because once the variable is set, reading the default isn't needed any more).

Adding (defvar magit-log-edit-confirm-cancellation nil) prior to loading magit is another workaround.

Apparently magithub is unsupported and does not work anyway, see melpa/melpa#1126.
