The emacs-app-devel Portfile 45700 2009-01-20 13:03:46Z css macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: emacs-app-devel
Version: 20090104

Category: aqua editors
Maintainers: css
Description: The GNU Emacs text editor, recent CVS development version
Long Description: GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time display editor. Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features. Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp. This port uses the CVS version of the code from a recent date, which includes the NextStep (aqua) option
