[emacs-berlin] A doubt about use-package

[jman]

Hallo Narendra, followup on this issue: I think I've solved the issue!

Your snippet here to watch a variable was pivotal to let me understand the 
issue.

So, what was the issue?

In my `init.el` I had something like this:

(load "~/.config/emacs/mu4e-config.el")
(require 'org-mu4e)

`mu4e-config.el` is a huge block such as this:

(use-package mu4e
  :load-path "~/.local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu4e/"
  :commands mu4e
  :init
  ...
  :config
  ...
  :custom
  ...)

Apparently the `(require 'org-mu4e)` immediately after would reset to nil the
variable I was watching, here's a log snippet:

...
Loading ~/.config/emacs/mu4e-config.el (source)...done
>>> Value for mu4e-update-interval getting modified to 5 with set in buffer nil
Loading ~/.config/emacs/custom.el (source)...
Loading whitespace...done
Loading paren...done
>>> Value for mu4e-update-interval getting modified to nil with set in buffer 
>>> nil
Loading ~/.config/emacs/custom.el (source)...done
Turning on magit-auto-revert-mode...done
...

I'm not sure why, I guess it has to do with org-mode now being enabled
by default in mu4e (since 1.4) and there's no need anymore to import
`org-mu4e`. Reimporting a deprecated package would probably reset
everything (I don't know, just my blind guess).

Anyway, I think I can now move forward from here.

Thank you again for giving ne the tools to debug the issue :-)
