1.6.0 breaks syntax highlighting on one light/dark about one-dark-syntax HOT 4 CLOSED

Don't manually update bundled packages unless you know what you're doing.

@50Wliu ah, I was using auto-update-packages and it seems that it updated bundled packages before waiting for Atom to update. I ended up uninstalling auto-update-packages.

This is a completely ridiculous response to this issue. An update for this syntax theme showed up in my updates list this morning, I updated, and then the syntax highlighting was completely broken (I'm not using auto-update-packages or anything of the sort). And the response from the Atom team is "don't manually update bundled packages unless you know what you're doing"? 😕

Is a casual user supposed to just "know" not to update One Dark because it comes bundled? I fixed it by removing one-dark-syntax inside ~/.atom/packages, but a casual user would likely not know to do this. Searching for help would lead them here and they'd get turned away because they messed up. Right.

Here's a much more helpful answer: atom/base16-tomorrow-dark-theme#33 (comment)

Is a casual user supposed to just "know" not to update One Dark because it comes bundled?

Yes, because bundled packages never show up as candidates for updates unless one of two things happen:

1. You manually install it (which gives you a fairly large warning in the terminal when you do)
2. You are using a package which auto-updates packages for you

This is why the response I gave is what I gave.
