I have a fresh install of latest build from homebrew.
The package control commands do not appear in command palette.
Confirmed package control is installed in Sublime Text/Packages/Package Control.sublime-package.
Confirmed settings does not have package control ignored.
Build 4180.
Am I missing something obvious?
tl;dr: See the “Solution” section in https://github.com/wbond/package_control/issues/1612
The resolution of the issue seems in a deadlock state unfortunately.
If the original author of Package Control is unable or unwilling to sign and upload a new version to packagecontrol.io, then maybe SublimeHQ should step in to update their installer script in Default/install_package_control.py and download the latest version directly from the GitHub releases instead. I wonder how much security is gained by using the signed, but old and non-operable version of Package Control, over just pointing the download link to the asset from https://github.com/wbond/package_control/releases/latest (or even to hardcode some working tagged release of Package Control 4.0).
I mean I’m not personally affected by this “bug”, but if I were a new user and the first thing after installing Sublime Text needs to be to research on GitHub issues or forum threads in to understand that I have to manually find and download a working Package Control version, then I would probably be already put off by that hassle…
