Ouch. End of life mid-2018. BTW: latest (production) Emacs is 30.2, not 29. First 29 (29.1) was released Jul 2023, long before Jessie's EOL. Yes, there is an LTS and an ELTS, but I doubt anyone is dedicated to backport new software to that. That said... > Is it possible? Reasonably easy?

If I were you, I'd try that (actually, I'm running on an Emacs 31). Cheers -- t
