The regression was indeed caused solely by upstream renaming the
variable that disables byte compilation, from
native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list
to
native-comp-jit-compilation-deny-list
ISTM that making that change without also honouring the old setting
was an obviously bad idea. Upstream set us up for this failure.
Anyway, I have fixed this issue in vm, by handling both variables.
I expect the new vm package to migrate quickly.
I see that there are other packages with failing tests, preventing
emacs from migrating. I haven't looked at them, but some of them may
be similarly afflicted.
Thanks,
Ian.
