Ah, thanks for clearing that up

Any chance of the PBI being updated to 24.x any time soon? Totally selfish question, as I recently had to reinstall PCBSD 9.0 (attempting to update to RC2 resulted in major borkage) and adjusting my config to get it to run on Emacs 23 is going to be a huge ordeal

I just remove the emacs-w3m plugin from the module as it is still conflicting with the main emacs port and triggered a rebuild. It should get built and approved within the next day or so.
(Sorry about the delay, I missed the notification that the port was updated... )

Thanks, Ken

Fortunately it is fairly easy to build emacs-w3m from source anyway, and it seems to work perfectly with both Emacs 23.x and 24.x PBIs.

Just an update on the status of the Emacs 24.x PBI's....

It looks like one of the port dependencies for Emacs is currently broken (the ghostscript9 port), so the PBI is failing to build. Once that port gets fixed the new Emacs PBI's should get created soon after.

The new 24.2 PBI passed the smoke test for me

It didn't pass the smoke test here... There was a typo in the startup wrapper script that was causing the special "dbus-launch --exit-with-session <path to emacs>/emacs" command to not run (causing the whole system to freeze up if you have not applied the special emacs patch to your system in general).

It should be rebuilding again here soon. The build servers are finally on for a good long while again.... :-)
