I'm curious how some-cvs type packages work. In particular emacs-cvs. I'm running what gentoo tells me is emacs-23.0.9999.
I have certain font problems that judging by following the emacs-dev list are now somewhat dealt with in current cvs. AFter running `emerge --sync' I see that emacs-cvs still shows emacs-23.0.9999. And no update needed When I run emacs command M-x version it shows emacs-23.0.60 I think there have been changes in the head of emacs-23 cvs. So how do I determine if I'm running the latest cvs? I used to build my own emacs-cvs and update from cvs as needed but was told I ought to let gentoo handle that by installing emacs-cvs. That emacs-cvs thru gentoo would accomplish the same thing but would keep my OS up on what its running. Now I want to know how closely portage emas-cvs follows the cvs tree. Is it linked directly to it or is there some delay where gentoo does whatever to the package? -- [email protected] mailing list
