Is there + work to bring any other popular packages into core Emacs for Emacs + 31+? (magit, counsel, etc) + - A: One package that was being discussed was **macrostep** + ([https://github.com/emacsorphanage/macrostep](https://github.com/emacsorphanage/macrostep){rel="noreferrer noopener"}). + - **Magit** is an ongoing discussion, but I don\'t know of any + concrete progress. Generally the best way to help is just to + send a message to emacs-devel and keep to it. Feel free to CC + me to help! +- Q:When thinking about using Emacs on android I start realising all + the other software I also want with it. For example pdf-tools wants + a small additional emacs specific program to be installed and + notmuch wants notmuch. Any way to get the goodness of Emacs for + android with this other stuff? Using nixos or guix, nix-on-droid to + make an apk with extra stuff? + - A: +- Q: Does package-vc download a tarball from the specified git + repository or clone the repository itself? + - A: Clones the repository (that's the -vc in the name) + - Compare with vc-clone (which is now exposed as an interactive + command compared to before) +- Q: How is the new behavior of M-q in prog-mode + (prog-fill-reindent-defun or something like that) different from the + behavior of C-M-q (indent-pp-sexp) in older Emacs versions? (My + apologies if indent-pp-sexp is not bound to C-M-q by default, I + can\'t tell) + - A: The difference is in the behavior when the cursor is inside a + string. +- Q:Any plans for Emacs running in IOS? + - A: Probably not. Emacs support on Android is completely free. To + my understanding, you need Xcode to build iOS stuff. +- Q: I am worried about the situation on non-free systems. There was + talk about the Windows and the macOS versions being as good as + unmaintained. Where do we go from here? I gather that most users of + Emacs are still on non-free platforms and will remain to be there. + - A: I don\'t know about the last point if that\'s true; there are + no statistics on the matter. I know Corwin is involved in the + Windows port. Someone has to do the work. Eli is on a Windows XP + system. As long as he\'s doing that, there\'s going to be + Windows some way or another. + - Corwin: accessibility issue (ex: maybe that XP system is + what they can afford, or what they need to use for work) + Concerning when we hear about black holes in the braintrust + for support for these things. + - And the same thing applies for macOS. +- Q: I\'m a bit confused about what version of org I should write + towards, because there\'s org (in emacs) org (in elpa) org (in org) + etc\... Is there a best practice on what-org-to-use when following + emacs-latest? + - A: Depends on\... my rough heuristic is if you\'re using the + latest features of Org, use the one on ELPA, maybe. Personally I + just use the one bundled in Emacs. + [[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/emacs30-after)" raw="yes"]] |
