In GNU Emacs 29.0.90 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version

3.24.37, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2023-04-18 built on ring

 

The "Getting Started" topic of the use-package info contains the

following unclear language in paragraph 2:

 

"     (require 'use-package)

 

   The above makes the 'use-macro' for in the rest of your init file.

In this manual, we call each call to 'use-macro' a "declaration", to

highlight the declarative nature of its semantic."

> I rebuilt from scratch, and you are correct. Sorry for the spurious bug report. It must have been an artifact from an earlier version of the package.

Thanks, I'm therefore closing this bug.
