Created attachment 136039 [details] corrected version minor changes inspired from x-symbol-4.5.1_beta.ebuild from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69169 That ebuild (*_beta) installs just the pcf fonts, and in /usr/share/fonts (for that, it depends on virtual/x11, which is no more; and X-Symbol is [just] for Emacs, not for X), and there are also fonts/ origfonts/ genfonts/; for docs, it does just the info, and there are also html/, .pdf, .ps

Looks like there's no upstream activity any more; their last release was seven years ago. Therefore closing. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
Created attachment 247746 [details] =app-emacs/x-symbol -4.5.1_rc3 adjusted ebuild allow multiple versions of GNU Emacs installed, but support only major version 22 of GNU Emacs, both at compile-time and initialization-time; USE flags `doc' to install both info and html documentation; properly install fonts in `pcf' subdirectory of data directory.
Created attachment 247747 [details] emacs site file for =app-emacs/x-symbol -4.5.1_rc3 ebuild resides in files/ wrapped by `src_install' within `(when (string< "22." emacs-version))' test

Created attachment 247751 [details] =app-emacs/x-symbol -4.5.1_rc3 corrected ebuild `pkg_setup' "eerror" logic corrected; previously omitted the message that manuals are available also in pdf and ps format.
Created attachment 247753 [details] =app-emacs/x-symbol -4.5.1_rc3 rechecked ebuild renamed `pkg-setup' to `pkg_setup' added "die ..." after "eerror" in `pkg_setup'
Created attachment 247755 [details] =app-emacs/x-symbol -4.5.1_rc3 sanitized ebuild removed syntax error from `pkg_postinst'
(In reply to comment #16) > support only major version 22 of GNU Emacs, both at compile-time and > initialization-time; So have I understood it right: This package won't work with Emacs 23 or 24? (In reply to comment #21) > Created an attachment (id=247755) [details] > =app-emacs/x-symbol -4.5.1_rc3 sanitized ebuild local eemacs="$(eselect --no-color --brief emacs show)" ! has_version "=virtual/${EMACS_22}" || test "${eemacs// /}" != "${EMACS_22}" || return Don't use eselect here, use elisp-emacs-version from elisp-common.eclass instead. See app-emacs/rst for an example.
Created attachment 247872 [details] =app-emacs/x-symbol -4.5.1_rc3 improved ebuild removed "examples" USE flag response to comment #22 added in `pkg_setup' replaced `string<' with 'string-match' (`string-prefix-p' also is not available in emacs-22) checked works fully with emacs-22 and not loading with emacs-23
- We don't support Emacs 22 any longer, see bug 394589. - The package doesn't work with Emacs 23 or later. - No visible upstream activity since 2003. - Bug 69169 comment 4 and bug 69169 comment 5 still apply. Closing as CANTFIX. Nevertheless, thank you for the contribution.
Yes, please, keep up the good work.
