8.0-RELEASE and Emacs port

2009-07-30 Thread Byung-Hee HWANG
Hello! A few hours ago, Chong Yidong, Emacs maintainer, has been
released Emacs 23.1 on gnu.org's mailing lists. Since i use Emacs
as default mailer, i really want that FreeBSD Project Release Team to
add Emacs 23.1 (Stable Ver.) into FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE. Because i use
only -RELEASE branch as far as i possibly can. Then i can use pkg_add
instead of ports, so easily. Thanks in advance ..;;

Sincerely,

Hi Byung-Hee,

AFAIK, The ports are not frozen yet.  I think we can make it by updating
the port before this weekend.

There is a bit of testing to make sure that we can repo-copy the
editors/emacs port to editors/emacs22 and check that the new
editors/emacs port for 23.1 works fine.

I'm working on it, and I will post patches soon-ish :)

Thanks, Giorgos! Let's fire Emacs gun!

... and following is somewhat off topic. FreeBSD Project's SPF rules
marked Giorgos's mail address (keram...@freebsd.org) as
softfail. That's bad news to me. SPF [RFC4408] is Experimental draft,
you know. Actually Giorgos's mail is very healthy message. Hmm.. i
cannot understand why FreeBSD Project postmaster team adopted such lame
email policy. Please let's go with another policy (e.g., RFC4801). There
is good role model on RFC4801. The Python Project deployed RFC4801 rules
in their own mailing list server, as far as i know. And i heard that is
working very fine ...

Sincerely,

Oops, i made mistake. The above RFC4801 should be RFC4871. Sorry ;;
