Hi,

I have been having trouble with emacs22 also. I am using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p7. I did the upgrade as described in the updating notes. I use emacs plus

auctex
slime
quack
emacs-w3m

Everything was upgraded properly. However, no portsdb -Uu generates errors.

Therefore, I have remove EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 from /etc/make.conf and now portsdb -Uu works without a problem. However, if I remove any of the ports such as auctex and then reinstall it, portinstall will try to install emacs21 again which conflicts with emacs22.

I am stuck. If I leave EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 in /etc/make.conf then dependencies work but portsdb -Uu fails. If I remove EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 from /etc/make.conf then portsdb -Uu works but the dependencies are messed up.

I even went as far as to delete emacs with pkg_delete -r emacs-22.1 and tried installing everything from scratch. However the dependencies are still messed up.

Does anybody have a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Arend van der Veen

We've been having a problem with generating the ports Index ever since
upgrading to emacs22.

As per /usr/ports/UPDATING, we added EMACS_PORT_NAME=*emacs22* to
/etc/make.conf

Errr --- that should probably read:

    EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22

You certainly don't need the asterisks there.

In any case, setting this variable will screw up indexing, because a
number of e-lisp ports will try and append the EMACS_PORT_NAME to
their package origin if it is set.  However not all the ports that
do that also have a slave port 'foo-emacs22' hence the problems with
building the INDEX.

The best answer is don't set EMACS_PORT_NAME in /etc/make.conf --
emacs22 is the default now anyhow.  The INDEX will build just fine,
and the various e-lisp packages seem to work OK as well, so long as
you've reinstall all the e-lisp packages once you've upgraded from
emacs21 to emacs22.

        Cheers,

        Matthew
