Project:Emacs/Overlay

Here you will find packages and ebuilds developed in the Emacs Project, which contains GNU Emacs, XEmacs, the corresponding Elisp packages, and eclasses. Being work-in-progress, their functionality cannot be guaranteed.

How to fetch the overlay

Get Eselect Repository and Git (configure them if necessary):

root #emerge --ask app-eselect/eselect-repository dev-vcs/git

Adding the Emacs overlay is then as easy as:

root #eselect repository enable emacs

You can then regularly update to the latest reviewed revision:

root #emaint sync -r emacs

How to report bugs

Report bugs concerning packages in the overlay at Gentoo Bugzilla. Mark the Summary line of the bug with [emacs-overlay].
