Damn :/ My emacs-22.3 release update almost made it into ports before the freeze by 1-2 days. Is there any chance I could bribe you guys to get it in, so we can have the latest stable 22.X GNU Emacs in the release? Having said that, I am a bit unfamiliar with all the work port builders have to do during the freeze, so if getting a new Emacs in the tree is completely out of the question because it would create a lot of work for you guys, that's ok. On the other hand, if the ports stay frozen for several weeks and we still have time to let it settle into the tree, it would be very nice to include this version. It includes a mildly important fix in the way Emacs spawns Python processes[1] that would be _very_ nice to have in ports sooner, rather than a couple of months later. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-09/msg00215.html
