Seems so, but I do not know when because I never touched anything else
than something with a 7 in it. And xemacs compiled originally just as
an example.
But right now portupgrade -fa is working - I hope that solves the
problems I'm having.
Any way how to find out if xemacs 21.5 is in any of the ports? Because
the unicode-support in 21.4 sucks I heard from one of the core
developers…
And if it's only in current - is there any way to just install that
one package from current or do I have to switch completely?
