#23165: emacs: update to 23.1 & create emacs22 port ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: dports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: emacs ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment(by dports@…): Replying to [comment:1 idoadam@…]:
Aaccording to the official Emacs.app web site (http://emacs- app.sourceforge.net/), emacs actually supersedes Emacs.app and the Cocoa version can be built by the --with-ns switch in configure (this is supported by the documentation in the gnustep directory in the official emacs23.1 tarball).
The emacs.app port *is* emacs 23.1 with --with-ns. I suppose it's confusing that the port lists http://emacs-app.sourceforge.net/ as its homepage; maybe it shouldn't anymore. I think it is appropriate for these to remain separate ports, both because they install into very different locations (/Applications vs $prefix) and because people may want to have both installed.
Additionally, the Carbon variant is slightly different and is not superseded by Emacs.app either.
My understanding is that the Carbon port has been discontinued and deprecated. Am I mistaken? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23165#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
