LEMIS
>Environment:

	Any FreeBSD

>Description:

	There are currently two ports for Emacs: editors/emacs, which
	installs the obsolete version 19.34, and editors/emacs20,
	which installs the current version 20.7.  Naive users are
	liable to install 19.34 by accident, because it seems to be
	the canonical port.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Please don't repeat.

>Fix:

	Should be as simple as renaming the directories:

	cd /usr/ports/editors
	mv emacs emacs19
	mv emacs20 emacs

	This is obviously a candidate for a repocopy.
