Description Greg Lehey 2001-02-10 03:40:01 UTC 
	There are currently two ports for Emacs: editors/emacs, which
	installs the obsolete version 19.34, and editors/emacs20,
	which installs the current version 20.7.  Naive users are
	liable to install 19.34 by accident, because it seems to be
	the canonical port.

Fix: 

Should be as simple as renaming the directories:

	cd /usr/ports/editors
	mv emacs emacs19
	mv emacs20 emacs

	This is obviously a candidate for a repocopy.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Please don't repeat.

I wonder - is there any reason why we need emacs19 at all? Is there
anybody how use emacs19 instead emacs20 or xemacs?

And bear in mind that GNU Emacs 21 will be released Real Soon Now (I
use beta and it's very stable).  So editors/emacs should probably be
reserved for 21, emacs20 leaved as it is and what is currently
editors/emacs - renamed to emacs19.

I agree that it is misleading at best to have emacs instead of emacs19.  I 
don't however think we should move emacs20 to emacs.  See the tcl, tk, qt, ... 
ports for other examples where we use the version in the port name when we 
have multiple version of a program in the Ports Tree.  If Asami-san will do 
the repo-copy, then I'll fix things up afterwards.

Asami-san seems to have no interest in this PR. Leave it to portmgr to 
decide what to do.

Reassign to an emacs maintainer in the hope of getting some 
action on this PR.
