We seem to have the following: ~ $ grep-available -Fprovides -spackage emacsen package: xemacs21-gnome-mule-canna-wnn package: xemacs21-gnome-mule package: xemacs21-gnome-nomule package: xemacs21-mule package: emacs20 package: emacs21 package: emacs20-dl package: xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn package: xemacs21-nomule That isn't enough flavors!?! > I have to control myself to not jump on the throats of people when I > see [an emacs-like editor that doesn't use elisp] Your personal prejudices aside, all of the above use elisp. We use the virtual package name "emacsen" to identify programs which can run elisp-based add-ons such as calc or zen-irc or the various language modes. > and it's easier to fully grasp what's going on when we are on older > Emacsen... How so? Personally, I think that font-lock mode at the console alone is enough reason to justify switching to emacs21. But you're not forced to use any of the new features in 20/21 if you don't want to. -- Chris Waters | Pneumonoultra- osis is too long [EMAIL PROTECTED] | microscopicsilico- to fit into a single or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | volcaniconi- standalone haiku -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
