I'm working on getting GNU emacs integrated into the Solaris SFW
consolidation. Once this is done, it will be available both in Solaris Nevada,
and in OpenSolaris.
The PSARC case is underway:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=68166
I would like to request an I-Team code review. The webrev is available at:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~alib/emacs/
I have done full nightly builds of sfw with these changes on both
x86 and sparc, without error.
Although I have not yet started the C-team Review process, that process
also includes a code review. I believe that this workspace is ready to
for that as well, so I would like to also ask for a code review from the
members of sfwnv-discuss.
The changes fall into several different categories. Somewhat gratifying
is the fact that there were very few changes to the files in the emacs
distribution itself:
- How to get the emacs configure process to work for amd64
- How to build emacs for all the different X11 toolkits
and collect the results into the proto.
- How to deliver both 32 and 64-bit emacs binaries
and determine which one to use at runtime (isaexec).
- How to select which version of emacs is the default
run by /usr/bin/emacs.
- Minor patches to use the system malloc, and Solaris dldump().
- Determining which files go into which Solaris packages,
and the details of building those packages.
- How to produce a version of emacs built with Athena
widgets (Xaw) that will run on OpenSolaris, where
libXaw is missing.
- Mechanical packaging details
Details of these changes are described in README.SUNWemacs:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~alib/emacs/usr/src/cmd/emacs/README.SUNWemacs.html
I've just subscribed to solaris-qe-pkgproj at sun.com and sfwnv-discuss at
opensolaris.org.
As there is a small lag between when one joins a list and the emails start
arriving,
please keep my email address in your replies for now so that I won't
miss any of the early ones.
Thank you for your help.
