Emacs/mule/xemacs maintainers,
Can you please change the following? BTW, since the directory needs
to be created at least once, the *.sh files in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d
should be created by different ports with different names (if they
have the same name, it will disappear when you install emacs, xemacs
and then delete xemacs). I suggest you use the directory name
(optionally with "<lang>-" in front) of the port. Also, it will be
too noisy if every port declares it is creating the directory ("Local
package startup: emacs emacs20 ja-mule-wnn6 mule xemacs xemacs20...")
so I recommend you to turn off the echo statements in this file.
Satoshi

From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami)
Hi,
I see that various emacsen install lock directories in all sorts of
different places. Can we merge them into one, or at least move them
to a more standardized location? In particular, I hate the ones in
/usr/local. (Writable directories in /usr/local?!?)
Right now, we have
emacs: /usr/local/com/emacs/lock
mule: /usr/local/com/mule/lock
xemacs: /var/run/xemacs/lock
Is there a reason why they can't all share one directory? I don't
know about xemacs, but emacs/mule just have PID's in there so they
should be interchangable.
If we can standardize them, I propose /var/run/emacs/lock.
