Interesting...today's update brought in the emacs 22 pretest snapshot. This is OK with me - I've been building my own version for a little bit now. But I do find it curious, given that emacs 22 final before the Fedora 7 release seems, um, unlikely. There are certain things in emacs 22 (gnus being the main example) which do not go back to version 21 in any sort of graceful way. Does anybody know why this went in now?
Hmmm, I'm having all sorts of problems with this version. :) For starters, if I try to resize the Emacs window, it hangs my X11 server, and it has to be restarted. This doesn't happen with any other windows, just Emacs.
There's also a lot of minor things that's not working, like "space" is no longer (by default) bound to do autocompletion in Find-File (I know, I can turn that on). But what's more annoying is that none of my "local variables" comments I have at the end of source files to configure Mode settings (like, C-mode) works. This is actually a "show stopper" for me, anyone know why this isn't working, and how I can get get it functional again?
I'd actually prefer to downgrade to Emacs v21 at this point, is there an easy way to do that with yum?
