I have patched the editors/emacs-devel port of FreeBSD to use the new pretest tarball as the source/distfile. It builds successfully on both FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 without X11 support, with X11 support and Lucid widgets, or with X11 support and GTK+ widgets. I have also edited the installation message of the package to say: This is a pretest snapshot of what will be the Emacs 23.1 release. As a result, there may be packaging errors in the tarball, so please be on the lookout for problems with installation. Pretesters: please send an email to keramida@ceid.upatras.gr reporting success or failure on your systems. In addition, please report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or send an email to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org. For questions, please email emacs-devel@gnu.org. Emacs 23 contains many changes relative to Emacs 22. For details, see the file etc/NEWS. A few particular notes for those who have not been following Emacs CVS development: - The RMAIL mail package was recently changed to use mbox instead of Babyl for its internal format. This part of Emacs may be less stable than others; for safety, please back up your mail files before trying the new Rmail. - The default toolkit is now GTK+. You can use WITHOUT_GTK to build GNU Emacs with the Lucid toolkit. There have been no problem reports so far, but the port was updated just today. If I get any bug reports in my personal inbox that are not also copied to the list, I will forward them to emacs-pretest-bug too. Again, thanks to everyone who contributed work, time and effort to give us the new release :-) Regards, Giorgos --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkpBFcEACgkQ1g+UGjGGA7Z/fACfeUsB+frGLel6KZ9CZC6GH1ji 0ocAoJRia7V9XWgHmDsVIfChxSdhK/jq =/5FM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
