Project:Emacs/Test plans

Why this?
Some packages need testing when being keyworded or stabilised, so they are collected here.

Improvements of the test plans are of course welcome, attach them to the respective stabilisation bug or write an e-mail to mailto:emacs@gentoo.org.

Prerequisites / Things to know
Add the following to or to your  file: (require 'site-gentoo)

Emacs uses a special scheme for key combinations which uses C for, M for (often bound to the  key), and S for. So means + followed by +, which lets you exit Emacs.

Always make sure with the Eselect module that you have the latest stable version active.

Glossary
Emacs jargon predates most of today's user interfaces. Here are some terms that are used below:

GNU Emacs and core components
Here are some test cases to for GNU Emacs:

Emerge with different USE flags
Watch out that the X USE flag will switch between a console only and X-enabled Emacs editor. When having X support switched on, run  with the   switch to test text-only mode.

Editing capabilities
Call Emacs with a file as parameter, even run it with  in your  file and use the   executable to visit test files.

Emerge Elisp packages
Emerge several packages from the app-emacs category and test them (various test cases are provided here).

eselect module
Emerge several versions of Emacs (and Emacs from Bazaar), try to switch versions and call the executables (check version with  parameter). Check if correct man pages are symlinked.

emacs-updater
Do a dry run with  or just run it with   (you will be asked for confirmation before any real action is taken).

Microemacs variants
Several Microemacs variants are available as packages. They all should support basic Emacs key bindings. Generally, you should test if visiting and saving of files, cursor movement, and basic editing operations work. Notes for individual editors are included below.


 * 1) The   binary will give you Emacs key bindings (you don't want to know what   is ;-)


 * 1) QEmacs has full UTF-8 support
 * 2) If you have the chance, try to edit some bidirectional text

Some key bindings are different from GNU Emacs, most notably (instead of ) for ,  (instead of ) for  ,  (in addition to ) for  , and  (instead of ) for. See    for a complete list.
