Hi,
I want to give a new breath to the port lang/tuareg-mode.el. I has
been deleted becuase of the following issues:
1. broken use of the emacs variable
2. a new version (1.46) existed for a few monthes, but the software
author changed his mind and decided to remvove 1.46 from
distribution and recommended to stick to 1.45.5.
Concerning the port task, I have two questions before sumbitting a PR
to propose the revived port.
First, this is not really a new port, but a revival of a dead one. is
there specific issues with this?
Second, the port version I wrote is anachronic, since some people may
have 1.46 installed (or prior 1.45.5 version, but PORT_REVISION can be
used here so this is not an issue). What's the correct way (or least
annoyance way) to handle this backtime travel?

All the best,
