I think this is the original proof of concept xemacs with support for gtk and gnome. I believe the main development for gtk-xemacs now happens in the xemacs "gamma" branch (21.4.x) now. We already have a app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.5.ebuild though and this is the source of my dilemma. The existing app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.5 will use motif (or athena optionally) via USE. I would have liked to change app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.x to configure --with-gtk --with-gnome, but that is unreasonable given that people would still like to --with-widgets=motif etc. Put another way, I can't really test USE for gtk and gnome accordingly because poeple could have motif in there. I had thought briefly about determining what to use to build xemacs-21.4.x based on whether gtk and gnome appear before motif in USE, but I haven't seen any evidence yet that USE should be used this way. My conclusion is that gtk-xemacs-21.1.12_p3 should be superseded by a xemacs-21.4.x --with-gnome --with-gtk (which i'm testing now on my own machine for 21.4.6 and plan to submit to bugs.gentoo.org). I would call the package, app-editors/gtk-xemacs/gtk-xemacs-21.4.6.ebuild and it would be distinct from app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.x.ebuild (which would remain motif/athena builds). Does this plan sound about right to the more experienced contributors and maintainers? Just checking... Matt (irc burnside)
