I'm curious how some-cvs type packages work. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In particular emacs-cvs. I'm running what gentoo tells me is |
| 4 |
emacs-23.0.9999. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have certain font problems that judging by following the emacs-dev |
| 7 |
list are now somewhat dealt with in current cvs. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
AFter running `emerge --sync' I see that emacs-cvs still shows |
| 10 |
emacs-23.0.9999. And no update needed |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
When I run emacs command M-x version it shows emacs-23.0.60 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I think there have been changes in the head of emacs-23 cvs. So how |
| 15 |
do I determine if I'm running the latest cvs? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I used to build my own emacs-cvs and update from cvs as needed but |
| 18 |
was told I ought to let gentoo handle that by installing emacs-cvs. |
| 19 |
That emacs-cvs thru gentoo would accomplish the same thing but would |
| 20 |
keep my OS up on what its running. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Now I want to know how closely portage emas-cvs follows the cvs tree. |
| 23 |
Is it linked directly to it or is there some delay where gentoo does |
| 24 |
whatever to the package? |
