Hi there, I'm a big fan of Emacs and I like to build Emacs from source. So whether FC7 is gonna have Emacs 22 does not concern me much. However I think it is important to have this modernized powerful tool available to our current and prospective Fedora users. As we know RMS is extremely strict on fixing bugs, Emacs 22 has long passed the production quality while still in development. A few days ago, Emacs's developers have decided to enter pretest¹. As it is in the early stage of FC7 cycle, I'd propose we upgrade to Emacs 22. The News is just too big for this mailing list, but you can read it here: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/emacs/etc/NEWS?root=emacs A few highlights: - much improved Unicode support - Gtk2 menu, toolbar and scrollbar - Gnome style icons - Tons of add-on packages (calc 2.05, Gnus 5.11, ido etc) Footnotes: ¹ http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/61249 -- Leo -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
