Emacs stable releases
PPA description
This repository contains updated `emacs` packages based on stable releases.
The following package series are available:
- `emacs26`: based on 26.x-series releases.
- `emacs25`: based on 25.x-series releases.
The `emacs26` packages have `mailutils` and `systemd` support (the two build-time options that are new in `emacs26`) enabled. The `emacs26` packages for 14.04 have failed to build because not all of the dependencies that are required to enable these options are available.
The `emacs26` packages have xwidgets support. The `emacs25` packages do not. If you are interested in xwidgets support in `emacs25`, please send me a note; it would not be hard to update those packages.
On top of each series, I have applied the following patches:
- A fix for an `xinput`-related bug that, when triggered, causes `emacs` to enter an infinite loop; the process will then be unresponsive and will consume 100% of a single CPU core until you kill it.
