Re: Status of cocoa stuff?
Ar an seachtú lá is fiche de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Gary Foster:
I just switched jobs and the new job uses and leverages emacs
heavily.
I've sort of gotten out of the habit of using it and have been using
textmate on the mac lately (yeah yeah I know, I know). However, I've
been getting back into it and am wondering what the current status of
Choi's cocoa bindings for XEmacs is. I assume it's still in
limbo-land? Everyone here uses cocoa emacs (GNU) and I've been using
it too but I'd really prefer to get back to XEmacs instead. I know I
can run it with the X11 support, but thought I'd just check in on the
cocoa stuff before I do a full build.
Choi’s Carbon XEmacs is, indeed, still in both legal (given the lack of
copyright clarity) and development (given that Apple is giving up on Caron)
limbo, with no prospect of it exiting that limbo, and no real resources to
send its way. I have been merging changes from the trunk into it in its own
repository on Alioth, but am close to giving that up. Feel free to use that
for the moment, http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-carbon2/
We don’t have a Cocoa port. We’d like to have one, but there’s no prospect
of anyone committing the time.
