use-package-vc-prefer-newest is a customizable variable defined in use-package-core.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Prefer the newest commit over the latest release.

By default, much like GNU ELPA and NonGNU ELPA, the :vc keyword tracks the latest stable release of a package. If this option is non-nil, the latest commit is preferred instead. This has the same effect as specifying :rev :newest in every invocation of
:vc.

Note that always tracking a package's latest commit might lead to stability issues.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 30.1.
