Project:Emacs

The Gentoo Emacs Project handles Emacs and Elisp related packages in the Gentoo package tree. This includes GNU Emacs, XEmacs and related editors, manuals and additional packages.

Herds
The Emacs project maintains the following herds:

The Emacs overlay
The Emacs overlay holds packages to be tested separately and provides a playground for both GNU Emacs and XEmacs. View the overlay with gitweb: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/emacs.git;a=summary

GNU Emacs documentation
Our developer information summarises what must be known when maintaining Emacs and its packages in Gentoo. Even maintainers of packages with optional Emacs support (by ) can learn something about the internal goings.

A devmanual section contains hints how you can configure your Emacs as Gentoo developer.

Xft support for GNU Emacs shows you how to enable and use antialiased fonts for Emacs.

Test plans for Emacs packages that need testing when being keyworded or stabilised.

Work lists mainly intended for the Emacs maintainers themselves, of temporary nature:
 * Packages that need stabilisation
 * Packages with (possible) sitefile problems
 * Some possibly to be removed packages
 * Miscellaneous notes and work lists

XEmacs documentation
Documentation on XEmacs on Gentoo is available. It contains information for users to explain how Gentoo deals with some aspects of XEmacs, and information and support scripts for Gentoo developers.

Other Emacs implementations
Other Emacs-like editors are also available in Gentoo, in addition to GNU Emacs and XEmacs.
