Emacs 23 Fedora Packages

I’ve updated the Emacs 22.1 .spec file for Emacs 23 and uploaded an SRPM and some RPM builds. Check out the anti-aliased fonts at XftEmacsScreenshots. Learn more about the new features at EmacsCVSFeatures. Download packages at http://rpm.bradmwalker.com. Send feedback to me.

Update: I no longer build Emacs CVS snapshots. Please use Chip Coldwell’s Emacs 23 repository. Details

    installation at my FC8 box results in `old’ Emacs 22
    removed (ie. /usr/bin/emacs) and new installed as /usr/bin/emacs-23.0.60

    to `activate’ Emacs I had to manually run:
    /usr/sbin/alternatives –config emacs

    Thanks for rpm files

    Upgrading between 22.1.fc8 and 22.1.50.fc9 also causes this problem. I reported this upstream: Redhat Bugzilla #439076.

    Two workarounds in addition to alternatives --config emacs exist:

    1. Uninstall emacs then install the new version instead of yum upgrade 'emacs*'.
    2. Use alternatives --remove emacs <full-path-to-missing-binaries> to remove broken symlinks.
