Would that be the same xemacs-19.14 on the 2.1.6 CD or what? In other
words, if I have the CD, do I still need to get a newer xemacs via ftp?
While useing pkg_add on the cd xemacs-19.14 package, it dies with:
can't invoke tar pipeline
Anyone else have this problem? Any problems if I simply untar it? It
seems to work so far.
Which brings me to my other question. Is there any gotcha's to worry
about when installing -current packags or 2.2-packages or whatever on
"older" releases? perl5.003 for instance. Or using newer ports?
