It takes several (6+) minutes to add a single package to my default Julia environment. What’s going wrong? (@v1.6) pkg> add https://github.com/TakekazuKATO/TailRec.jl Cloning git-repo `https://github.com/TakekazuKATO/TailRec.jl` Updating git-repo `https://github.com/TakekazuKATO/TailRec.jl…

[image] kristoffer.carlsson: It didn’t use to do this in old versions of Julia and there was a lot of confusion about people installing packages and getting old versions because they hadn’t manually updated their registry for a significant time. I would think that this is mostly a matter of c…

Doesn’t seem like it, here I added Plots@1.22 and then restarted julia. Adding Crayons didn’t update anything else, but doing up after did update Plots (among some other packages). (@v1.7) pkg> add Crayons Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General.toml` Resolving package versions... …

Thanks. Well, that makes thing more confusing. Am I imagining stuff? Or there are other situation in which adding a package may trigger the update of other (non-compat related) packages? Some situation related to the expiration of a registry, or something?

The intention is at least to try to add the package while keeping everything fixed and only if that fail allow other packages to also upgrade. If it doesn’t work like that, it is a bug. More explicitly, add --preserve=all Foo should never work if a add Foo has to upgrade other packages.

[image] kristoffer.carlsson: only if that fail allow other packages to also upgrade all other packages, or some subset of packages with a dependency tree taken into consideration?

I think this is where things get confusing. For example, I have added Plots@1.22.0, then added an old version of a package of mine (which does not have Plots as a dependency). Then I updated that package, and that triggered the update of Plots: (uptest) pkg> add ComplexMixtures@0.5.4 Resolving …

[image] lmiq: Then I updated that package, and that triggered the update of Plots : Not for me: (jl_zMmory) pkg> st Status `/tmp/jl_zMmory/Project.toml` [91a5bcdd] Plots v1.22.0 (jl_zMmory) pkg> add ComplexMixtures@0.5.4 Resolving package versions... Updating `/tmp/jl_zMmory/…

Ok, this is reproducible: add Plots@1.22.0 PDBTools@0.11.0 add ComplexMixtures@0.5.4 The last version of ComplexMixtures requires PDBTools@0.12, thus, when I deliberately add this last version, it triggers the update of PDBTools. (that is expected). However, it also triggers the update …

[image] lmiq: However, it also triggers the update of Plots (that is not expected): It is not easy to figure out the “smallest possible change” to the environment one can do to add the package. Currently, the strategy works as written in It takes several minutes to add a single package - #90 …

All direct dependencies, if that fails, also indirect dependencies.
