#49564: xemacs on El Capitan ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: burkhard.militzer@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: xemacs | ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by dstrubbe@…):
You can always go back to a previously installed version if you are having trouble with a newer one: e.g. 'port activate xemacs @21.4.22'.
Unfortunately, I lost all previously installed ports when I upgrade to Mac OS to El Capitan. Now, there is no "xemacs @21.4.22" to be activated. When I instead type "sudo port install xemacs@21.4.22" it installs version "xemacs-21.5.16".
Ok, never mind that suggestion then. You cannot specify which version you want to install at the command line; the only way to get older ones is described here: [wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort]. If this version is crashing all the time, I guess we'll need to go back to 21.4.22, as I assume that it is due to bugs as opposed to anything we can fix in the packaging. (Incidentally, note that there are also other emacs ports, such as emacs-mac-app, which is what I typically use.) Do you have an opinion on the issue in #19833, namely whether 21.4.22 was able to work with the sumo packages? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49564#comment:7> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
