#74386: emacs-app @ 31.1: Link binaries and manpages to prefix
-------------------------+---------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mcookly      |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Low          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.12.6
 Keywords:               |       Port:  emacs-app emacs-app-devel
-------------------------+---------------------------------------
 When installing {{{emacs-app}}} (or {{{emacs-app-devel}}}) via MacPorts,
 only {{{Emacs.app}}} is installed, requiring the user to invoke
 {{{/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient}}} to run
 emacsclient.  I know that emacs-app installed via Homebrew links Emacs's
 binaries to {{{opt/local/homebrew/bin}}} as well as some manpages
 ([https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/main/Casks/e/emacs-
 app.rb]).  Is there interest in having MacPorts's {{{emacs-app}}} do the
 same, perhaps under an opt-in variant?
