Topic: ✔ update proof general when updating coq


view this post on Zulip Callan McGill (Jun 28 2022 at 00:20):

I am trying to update my version of coq but when I open proof general it now says:
"Symbol's value as variable is void: coq-debug"
What is the recommended thing to do?

Have you updated emacs / proof general? (To be clear, I don't know if that's the problem, it just seems sensible to try.)

the usual recommendation is to install ProofGeneral via MELPA, or update via MELPA if already installed

Thanks, I did update my version and that cleared things up!

Nowadays it can also be installed from NonGNU ELPA, which is configured out of the box in Emacs since Emscs-28.

FWIW, whatever is the (M)ELPA distribution you chose, it is easy to automatically update proof-general (and sibling packages) by typing:

M-x p-u-e-p RET or M-x proof-upgrade-elpa-packages RET

cf. https://proofgeneral.github.io/#keeping-proof-general-up-to-date
