Well, it seems that it is fixed now. I see we have emacs-23.4-2 so I wonder if
our devs patched or something. All good from my vantage point.
FWIW, I build emacs from trunk pretty regularly, and it's really
stable. I've had to look to the lists for a build faliure once over the
last two years, and it was fixed the next day anyhow.
I have a script in ~/bin with something like:
cd $HOME/workspace/emacs
bzr pull
(make || make bootstrap&& make)&& sudo make install
in it. I occasionally need to recompile due to system updates.
Unless you're really tied to 23.4, I recommend giving it a shot --
there's a lot of improvements, and I actually run into *fewer* problems
with things getting broken then when I run emacs from distro packages.
Why not using a PKGBUILD from AUR to do so? We have a fantastic package
manager, we should use it. How do you deinstall such a self built emacs?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33337 emacs-bzr, pulls from trunk
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53902 emacs-xwidget-bzr, pulls from
xwidget-branch.
