Warning on Pkg.update() in Julia 1.13-beta1

[lbilli]

In Julia 1.13-beta1, when running Pkg.update(), the following warning about Pkg.gc() occasionally shows up:

(@v1.13) pkg> up

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue.

It looks like Pkg.update() triggers Pkg.gc() internally and the call still passes the deprecated collect_delay parameter, which causes this warning. I’m planning to trace where gc is invoked and update the call to match the current API.

Please let me know if that sounds like the right approach before I open a PR

This should have been fixed in #4516 which was backported in #4574

What do you get for 1.13-nightly?

[AradhyaTiwari10]

Tested on 1.13-nightly (via julia +nightly → 1.14.0-DEV).

Pkg.update() runs Pkg.gc() but no collect_delay warning appears anymore.

Looks like the fix from #4516 (backported in #4574) is already present on nightly.
So this seems specific to 1.13-beta1 only.

Should be fixed in beta3 (JuliaLang/julia#60920)
