I have a dependency on the emacs-app for the reduce-addons subport. It is
needed to byte-compile a couple of elisp files for the ide. I realize there
are currently 8 different ports that install emacs:
emacs @24.5_1 (editors)
The GNU Emacs text editor
emacs-app @24.5_2 (aqua, editors)
The GNU Emacs text editor (Cocoa version)
emacs-app-devel @20151029 (aqua, editors)
The GNU Emacs text editor, recent Git development version
emacs-mac-app @5.15 (aqua, editors)
Emacs Mac port
emacs-snapshot @20140101_1 (editors)
The GNU Emacs text editor
emacs22 @22.3_8 (editors)
The GNU Emacs text editor
emacs23 @23.4_6 (editors)
The GNU Emacs text editor
xemacs @21.4.22_11 (editors, x11)
A highly customizable open-source text editor.
A user who uses xemacs, for example, may not like another emacs app installed
on their mac. Is it preferable to check if emacs is already installed on the
user’s system and if not, then install a “default” emacs app or the emacs
binary? What’s the best way to implement this?
