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:

{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|GNU Emacs}}}|GNU Emacs|

GNU Emacs

 * 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
 * Removed packages and removal candidates
 * Miscellaneous notes and work lists

Other Emacs implementations

The Emacs overlay
