Bug 185064 – app-editors/emacs: patches required for IDE integration (XEmbed)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ivan 2007-07-12 12:44:59 UTC]

Some newer IDEs such as pida (http://pida.co.uk) [in Portage] and encode (http://encode.sourceforge.net/) that support a user-provided editor do not work with emacs out of the box.  The patches in the given URL need to be applied to fix this.

In particular, the pida information is listed here: http://pida.co.uk/trac/wiki/EmacsSupport

[Comment 1 Ulrich Müller 2007-07-12 12:54:13 UTC]

As discussed on IRC, we could optionally apply parent-{id,fix}.patch depending on some USE flag (xembed?).

But first you should ask upstream if they would consider including this.

[Comment 2 Ivan 2007-07-12 13:12:47 UTC]

For information on upstreams opinion of this patch, please see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2006-02/msg00162.html

(this is specifically about the xembed patch).

[Comment 3 Ulrich Müller 2007-07-14 02:15:46 UTC]

Available for testing in the Emacs Overlay, emerge app-editors/emacs-22.1 with "xembed" USE flag enabled.

[Comment 4 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2007-07-22 15:41:09 UTC]

For the records: The patches have been resubmitted to upstream and are being discussed

[Comment 5 Ulrich Müller 2007-10-07 21:10:31 UTC]

Resolving as UPSTREAM since we won't move this to the Portage tree.
We will maintain it in the Emacs overlay until it is included upstream.

[Comment 6 Ulrich Müller 2008-02-07 17:31:30 UTC]

This has been included in the upstream CVS trunk, i.e. it is available in emacs-cvs:23.
