Comment(by dports@…):
Replying to [comment:1 idoadam@…]:
> Aaccording to the official Emacs.app web site (http://emacs-
app.sourceforge.net/), emacs actually supersedes Emacs.app and the Cocoa
version can be built by the --with-ns switch in configure (this is
supported by the documentation in the gnustep directory in the official
emacs23.1 tarball).
The emacs.app port *is* emacs 23.1 with --with-ns. I suppose it's
confusing that the port lists http://emacs-app.sourceforge.net/ as its
homepage; maybe it shouldn't anymore.
I think it is appropriate for these to remain separate ports, both because
they install into very different locations (/Applications vs $prefix) and
because people may want to have both installed.
>Additionally, the Carbon variant is slightly different and is not
superseded by Emacs.app either.
My understanding is that the Carbon port has been discontinued and
deprecated. Am I mistaken?
