Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Dear Ports Community,
I am a daily Xemacs user and rely on Mac Ports to install it. After upgrading to El Capitan, I would like to report three issues:
(A) Currently Ports supports only the recent (but unstable) beta version of Xemacs 21.5.16, which causes problems on my end. If someone could put back the last stable version 21.4.22 then I could keeping editing my C++ files without frequent crashes.
(B) A simpler request: There is a problem with the installation of the package libraries. As is, the link in /opt/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-21.5.16 links to itself indefinitely. I fixed it by hand with
/opt/local/lib/xemacs>sudo rm xemacs-21.5.16 /opt/local/lib>sudo rm -rf xemacs /opt/local/lib>sudo ln -s xemacs-21.5.16 xemacs
(C) Currently I cannot have Xemacs and ImageMagick installed at the same time. Maybe this could be fixed also:
sudo port install imagemagick Password: ---> Computing dependencies for ImageMagick Error: Unable to execute port: Can't install ctags because conflicting ports are active: xemacs
Thanks a lot,
Burkhard

a) xemacs was updated to a beta version because it was stated that the stable version didn't work. See #19833.
b) If that's true, we can fix the symlink.
c) It is true that ctags and xemacs were marked as conflicting with one another in r141410. This is typically done when two ports try to install different files to the same name/location. How would you suggest this conflict be resolved?
