If you are looking to pick up ~130 packages in one quick move, then wait |
| 2 |
no longer and add yourself to the xemacs herd! You'll get |
| 3 |
app-editors/xemacs and all the packages in app-xemacs/* |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
You will inherit a few open bugs, but nothing high priority. XEmacs |
| 6 |
editor and package release happen quite infrequently and we are fully |
| 7 |
up-to-date right now. |

After 21 years I figured it was time for some change, so I've now |
| 10 |
started to use GNU Emacs, and thus I no longer have an interest in |
| 11 |
maintaining XEmacs. My main reason for switching is that extensions are |
| 12 |
all written for GNU Emacs these days and with XEmacs pretty much |
| 13 |
stagnant its compatibility layer is no longer up to dealing with these. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you are using xemacs and want to maintain these, please let me know. |
| 16 |
I have some scripts to automate updates that aren't available elsewhere. |
| 17 |
I won't drop the packages to maintainer-needed and I'll monitor the |
| 18 |
xemacs alias for now to tell people this is no longer maintained. |
