Description Han Pilmeyer 2004-02-23 09:56:21 UTC

XEmacs 21.4.15 was just released this month (February 2004). The latest version
of XEmacs that can be emerged is 21.4.12. Newer versions of XEmacs 21.4 have been available since May 2003.

XEmacs 21.4.12 has a nasty bug that causes XEmacs to lock up on Linux systems. Therefor it is important to have a newer version available for emerge.

I was able to build 21.4.14 using the 21.4.12 ebuild file. Not modifications were necessary.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Expected to me able to emerge relatively recent XEmacs 21.4 version.

It also works with 21.4.15, copying as-is the 2.4.12 ebuild.

Comment 2 Canek Peláez Valdés 2004-03-01 10:35:02 UTC

I got it working (21.4.15) in four machines:

   o Athlon XP 2400+
   o Pentium 4 1.8 GHz (laptop)
   o Pentium 3 1.3 GHz (laptop)
   o Pentium 2 800 MHz

21.4.15 is available in portage. Please close.

Comment 4 Han Pilmeyer 2004-08-30 09:13:16 UTC

Latest stable version of XEmacs is now available in portage (with several bug fixes).

Comment 5 Mark Purtill 2005-06-17 19:47:10 UTC

XEmacs 21.4.17 is now available.  I was able to get it installed by copying
xemacs-21.4.15-r2.ebuild to xemacs-21.4.17.ebuild.  I'll attach the changed files.

This patch is only a couple of characters different from the previous one.
It goes in .../app-editors/xemacs/files.

My local patch, for completeness

This is a patch I wrote to work around a font problem.	It also lives in
.../files.

Comment 9 Mark Purtill 2005-06-17 19:53:34 UTC

I should mention, I commented out one patch entirely (quick-fix.patch) that
failed to apply.  That's because it seemed to be related to the powerpc
architecture, which I don't use.
