I have updated the FreeBSD editors/emacs-devel port to use this tarball as the release source, instead of an older CVS snapshot. Two things that I noticed during the package update are: - Now our FreeBSD specific src/alloc.c patch is part of the official release tarballs, so we can trim it from the Ports tree of FreeBSD. Yay, thanks for that... - While installing Emacs 23.0.90 in a temporary area, as part of the packaging list update, I noticed a message about missing files: Compressing *.el ...^M gzip: can't stat: ./quail/hangul3.el: No such file or directory^M chmod -R a+r /var/tmp/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.90/leim^M This may be a Makefile bug that has to be fixed, or there may be files missing from the release tarball. > - The RMAIL mail package was recently changed to use mbox instead of > Babyl for its internal format.

FWIW, I have added this note to the package description for the update of the FreeBSD package. If there are bug reports sent to me but not copied to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org or emacs-devel@gnu.org, I will copy the emails to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org. Happy pretesting everyone :-)
