I was wondering why the app-xemacs/xemacs package doesn't include the
cc-mode package since it is widely used.
I had some real troubles figuring this out (mostly since im not very
familiar with the portage system). It should just seem natural that it would
be.

Gentoo has a tendency to split packages rather than include them. [1]
has information about all the Gentoo supported packages, and then there
are options like `emerge -S <string>` and specially target utilities
like app-portage/eix to help you find packages you need:

$ eix cc-mode
* app-emacs/cc-mode
     Available versions:  ~5.31.3
     Homepage:            http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net
     Description:         An Emacs mode for editing C and other
languages with similar syntax.

* app-xemacs/cc-mode
     Available versions:  1.32 1.45
     Homepage:            http://xemacs.org/
     Description:         C, C++ and Java language support.

Found 2 matches.


Kind regards,
