emacs22 upgraded then disappears ??

[Bill Case]

Hi;

rpm -q, yum list, and locate all tell me that emacs.i386 22.0.99-1.fc6
is installed after the latest upgrade.  But, bash says it can't find it.

I'll look for it in the morning.  I need it.

It should be in /usr/bin

You're not typing emacs22 are you?

I'll create a soft/hard link from emacs to emacs-22.0.99.

It has been removed and replaced with emacs-22.0.99.

You mean you have a file in /usr/bin called "emacs-22.0.99"?

I do wonder where you got emacs-22.0.99.  As far as I can tell 21.4-17.3.fc6
is the latest version.

Hi Ed;

If you are an emacs user, the emacs22 has many great enhancements and
reorganizations.  GNU hasn't yet declared emacs22 out of beta for some
reason, yet it is extremely stable from my experience and judging from
the support it gets on the GNU emacs mailing list.  It is worth getting
even if F7 is only a month away.

Because there was a high demand for it, the emacs22 was made available
as a beta through Fedora.  It is being maintained especially for FC6 and
will be included in F7. See emacs-22.repo

[emacs-22]
name=Emacs 22 for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/coldwell/emacs/fedora/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

If you want to check, there is an exchange between me and the emacs22
maintainer wihin the last 2 - 3 weeks on this mailing list.  I usually
keep all such exchanges but somehow I have inadvertently deleted it.  If
you want to see it just search the April and May postings.

The original reason I wrote this post was to inform the maintainer of
emacs22 that there was a small problem with his latest update.

I see....

FWIW, I would make an alias for this instead of a link.  Also, the rpm query
option of --filesbypkg comes in handy to see what exactly is being installed.

Yea, I just spent a day on my FC7t4 testing beating them back with
a stick :-). The only really useful enhancement is that now I can
disable the stupid fringes - been wanting that one since they first
appeared.
