Subject: bug#77136: [PATCH] bug#77136 and bug#76567: package.el: Add package--newer-with-priority-p for built-in upgrades
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:55:42 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Emacs maintainers,

This patch improves built-in package upgrade checks by adding
package--newer-with-priority-p.  Combines version and priority checks:
1. New numeric version > built-in
2. Priority version > built-in (when enabled)
Replaces direct comparisons in package-menu--find-upgrades.  Uses
package-desc-status instead of array indexes.

Happy to adjust as needed for inclusion in master.

Best regards,
David D.
