Subject: [PATCH] Prioritize user provided pkg-spec over the ones in archives
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 01:54:41 +0530

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
When installing a package via a VC, while unpacking package in the
function package-vc--unpack, prioritize the pkg-spec argument over the
pkg-spec for the package from the archives. We used to do that, but in
commit 573acd97e54ceead6d11b330909ffb8e744247cc this change was made:

-    (unless (seq-some (lambda (alist) (equal (alist-get name (cdr 
alist)) pkg-spec))
-                      package-vc--archive-spec-alists)
+    (when (null (package-vc--desc->spec pkg-desc name))

This patch restores the previous behavior by comparing with pkg-spec
instead of checking whether package-vc--desc->spec function returns null
or not.
