Is this the correct place to report problems with the emacs website (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/)? Just wanted to suggest that the Mac command to download should be changed to "brew cask install emacs" because the current command does not work anymore.

Best,
Jesse Olsson

bug#36031: MacOS Homebrew Install Instructions

Just letting you know you might want to update the Homebrew install
instructions.  Homebrew no longer supports command line options,
specifically ‘—with-cocoa’ in this case.

$ brew install emacs
That will still install emacs but without a GUI.

$ brew cask install emacs
That will install emacs with cocoa.

Keep up the great work!
Michael.

Hi, thanks for the report. I take it you’re referring to the
instructions on the website?

Nicolas, are you able to update the website?

Yes, just the website.  That is all that I came across.

Thanks!

It never occurred to me to look at that page (because why would I want
to look at Emacs' no-longer-updated CVS repository?).  Maybe it should
be mentioned elsewhere, admin/notes/www seems like a good candidate.

I actually thought there was such a mention, but maybe I was thinking of
the notes at the end of admin/make-tarball.txt.

BTW, some people are unhappy with having to use CVS.
Here's a tool that claims to do a two-way sync between git and CVS:

https://github.com/mikjo/bigitr

(It needs to be a two-way sync because eg sometimes the GNU webmasters
make changes, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to learn
a different procedure specially for Emacs.)

Hi Michael,

I'm been behind with some emails, and looking at this now, the website
has already been updated.

Cheers,
Nico
