Subject: 26.3; Package install fails if read-only-mode hooked to find-file
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 21:57:00 +0000

I have set the following to always open files in read-only-mode:
    (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'read-only-mode)

When I tried to install a new package through package-install, I got
(buffer-read-only #<buffer adaptive-wrap-autoloads.el>)

In https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/46655 I found a working solution
for someone else having the same problem,
that seems to be telling package-install to inhibit read-only-mode:
    (advice-add
     'package-install-from-archive
     :around (lambda (orig-fun &rest args)
               (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
                  (apply orig-fun args))))

This worked but I think the behavior I expected should be a default.

Thanks!

I've now made package install autoload generation ignore find-file-hook
in Emacs 28, which seems to fix the problem there.
