[Bug 272443] Re: Please have emacs-nox alternative
In general there's no way to know that Emacs will be running for a particular user, and if one has to start it up, the delay is not avoided. It's nice to use emacsclient if a server happens to be running, but if it's not, then it's also nice if ALTERNATE_EDITOR is set to something that starts up fast. This is also useful for user accounts e.g. root that do not typically have applications running persistently. A source build of emacs with all optional dependencies turned off starts up really fast; how about emacs-minimal? -- Please have emacs-nox alternative https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272443 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

By the way, the proof that there is demand for this functionality is the popularity of Zile (of which I am the upstream maintainer). Zile does have a niche on resource-constrained systems, but I would like to be able to do away with it for most uses; however, for quick startup it still beats Emacs in general (i.e. if one doesn't already have an Emacs server running; and I don't think this is always either desirable or even possible). -- Please have emacs-nox alternative https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272443 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
