editors/xemacs-current
editors/xemacs-current-nox11
The latter is now just editors/xemacs-current built with a specific set
of options. Changes include:
+ Rename the "xaw" option to "lucid" to match the option name used in
xemacs/options.mk. Also comment out the "esound" option which isn't
fully supported yet. Add some comments to the options.mk file to
make it a little easier to understand.
XXX Should probably add a pgsql option as this version of XEmacs has
XXX some sort of PostgreSQL support. Also need to sort out native
XXX sound support.
+ Remove Makefile.common and move all logic into xemacs-current/Makefile
and xemacs-current/options.mk.
+ As of version 21.5, xemacs switched to using GNU autoconf, so set
GNU_CONFIGURE=yes.
+ Include termcap.buildlink3.mk to properly deal with termcap/curses
issues (xemacs needs termcap). Drop the --without-ncurses setting
as the issue is handled by termcap.buildlink3.mk.
+ Be slightly more aware of ${X11_TYPE} == "modular" by not referring to
${X11BASE} in that case.
+ Include buildlink3.mk files for zlib and gettext, which are detected
automatically if they're in the base system. Gettext is needed for
MULE support.
+ In the Makefile and the PLIST, don't substitute for ${EMACSVER}.
Instead substitute for ${DISTNAME} so the PLIST looks closer to
xemacs/PLIST.
+ Add patch-al which handles a difference between bmake and gmake in
using $< in a makefile target.
+ Support DESTDIR installation by adding INSTALL_MAKE_FLAGS to override
where files are installed during the install phase.
+ Honor PKGMANDIR.
+ Bump the PKGREVISION for xemacs-current and xemacs-current-nox11 to 1.
Both packages now track and use the same PKGREVISION number.

This is an unstable, *BETA* release of XEmacs.
|
|
|
|
XEmacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
|
|
display editor.
|
|
|
|
Users new to XEmacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
|
|
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
|
|
XEmacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
|
|
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
|
|
|
|
XEmacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending
|
|
(Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running
|
|
subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print
|
|
loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and
|
|
many more. There is a WWW browsing mode written fully in elisp
|
|
that looks and behaves much like the netscape WWW browser.
|
|
|
|
XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different
|
|
display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the
|
|
ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say
|
|
it looks nicer than GNU Emacs.
