A few years ago, I proposed editors/emacs-nox11 and submitted a patch to create it, and thus became listed in the comments at the beginning of the Makefile (but I am not the package maintainer, I believe). Today I got a report that the package does not build; I verified this. I want to help the user, but I have no idea how the change that broke the build was added to the Makefile.

You can find the CVS history via :
- cvsweb at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/emacs-nox11/Makefile
- freshports at http://www.freshports.org/editors/emacs-nox11/
