-------------------------+--------------------
The emacs-app port currently is applying two patches, both have their
problems:
1. patch*-src_emacs.c.diff - that add MacPort's prefix to the PATH of
emacs but not /usr/local/bin or any other paths in the shell's
environment, this patch is a half done solution to solve the PATH problem
when launching Emacs.app from the Finder. A good solution to this problem
(https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell) has been around for 6
years now. I suggest we remove this, so there's less maintenance.
2. patch-enable-multicolor-fonts.diff - this patch was originally added to
reenable emoji inputs, but it hasn't worked for months now. Every time an
emoji is inserted, emacs crashes. I suggest we remove this patch unless a
quick and easy solution is found to reimplement emoji input on MacOS.
