GNU Emacs
We have lists of: * [wiki:"test plans"] for packages, * packages which need [wiki:stabilisations], * packages with [wiki:"bad emacs support"], * packages with (possible) [wiki:"sitefile problems"], * [wiki:"miscellaneous stuff"], * [wiki:"version bumps"] to do, * some possibly to be [wiki:"removed packages"], and * status of [wiki:"emacs packages"] in this overlay * packages that need a config entry for [wiki:checkbump]

The source code of the packages maintained by the Emacs project as upstream has moved to the Emacs-Tools Git repository.

XEmacs
An initial set of eclasses have been added to the overlay to facilitate the installation of XEmacs elisp files. In addition to this an ebuild of gentoo-syntax for XEmacs has been added as app-xemacs/gentoo-syntax, using these eclasses.
