~/.emacs.d/elpa outdated as of 2023 Sept 10

I downloaded the setup recommended here for ~/.emacs.d, however I could not get a CIDER nREPL up and running with Emacs 29.1 -- kept getting an error that said Package cl is deprecated.

I opened this issue https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/3459 and it turns out the problem is the ~/.emacs.d/elpa directory. It seems this directory is out of date. After deleting this directory and restarting Emacs, the CIDER nREPL worked.

I'd like to add, elpa/ contents very often are not compatible across major Emacs versions, so I'm not sure it's a good idea to distribute them.

It would save maintainers of other packages the odd issue report :)

I compile Emacs from source, so I'm currently running Emacs 30. The configuration works if you delete everything in the elpa folder and start Emacs so it all gets pulled from the Melpa repository.
