>Number: 24983 >Category: ports >Synopsis: Emacs ports have misleading names >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-ports >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Feb 09 19:40:01 PST 2001 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Greg Lehey >Release: All FreeBSD >Organization: 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. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
