GNU emacs 21.2-3 has been released (the -2 version was skipped). NOTE: emacs-21.2-1 overwrote several files from the "ctags" package. NOTE: You should reinstall it (if you have it installed) NOTE: to put the overwritten files back.
Changes: - resolved conflicts with the "ctags" package - split into 3 packages: emacs - base package, does not require X11 emacs-el - LISP source files (should not be needed for running emacs) emacs-X11 - version of emacs that supports X11 - telnet, ftp, ange-ftp, gnus, etc. all now work properly If you don't want an X11 version of emacs, just install "emacs". This package no longer requires any XFree86 packages. If you install "emacs-X11", the emacs binary gets changed to an X11 one, but the old non-X11 one is still available as "emacs-nox", much like RedHat linux does it. You only need "emacs-el" if you want to modify the installed LISP sources. The package shouldn't be needed if you just want to run emacs. There are no outstanding porting issues that I am aware of -- everything seems to be working. Undumping is still not implemented -- it looks pretty easy to do but I don't have the time at the moment, and it's not necessary for emacs to be able to do its thing. Joe Buehler
