Bug 10274 – new category for XEmacs in portage tree

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Rendhalver (RETIRED) 2002-11-05 10:13:20 UTC]

Hi i am part of the XEmacs package management team and i noticed that there isnt 
an app-xemacs category in the portage tree.

i just started using gentoo and i would like to help out with the XEmacs releted
ebuilds, and being the release guy for packages updating the ebuilds would just
become part of my current release process.

any one have a problem with this ??

we do have an app-emacs category. Matthew Kennedy is in charge of that.  I'd
like you, if you could please, to be in touch with him,  reassigning

XEmacs does its packages very differently to emacs, it has a package management
system for a start, so a new category would be preferable to putting them in
app-emacs.

Mathew do you have a problem with this?

there are currently 112 official XEmacs packages that get built by me
the ebuilds would basically install those packages in the appropriate place for
XEmacs to use them

and as the builder of these packages i would keep them up to date
i did noticed the base packages that get installed with XEmacs are a bit out of
date so i would like to update those as well.
