I has been deleted becuase of the following issues: 1. broken use of the emacs variable 2. a new version (1.46) existed for a few monthes, but the software author changed his mind and decided to remvove 1.46 from distribution and recommended to stick to 1.45.5. Concerning the port task, I have two questions before sumbitting a PR to propose the revived port. First, this is not really a new port, but a revival of a dead one. is there specific issues with this? Second, the port version I wrote is anachronic, since some people may have 1.46 installed (or prior 1.45.5 version, but PORT_REVISION can be used here so this is not an issue). What's the correct way (or least annoyance way) to handle this backtime travel? --=20 All the best, Micha=EBl
