I am well aware that very probably I might be starting a rant thread, however, I am genuinely interested in opinions from the community. Since version 24, Emacs, the very good operating system missing only a decent editor, has developed a package manager for Emacs extensions. Some good repos exist, packages are usually installed to ~/.emacs.d and I have come to really enjoy that way of installing packages. In that light and as the ports maintainer of math/ess, the Emacs speaks statistics R-mode of emacs, I am asking myself specifically whether I add any real benefit in maintaining math/ess. More generally, I am interested in community answers as to whether it is really useful to maintain Emacs-extension-packages in ports. Thanks for your thoughts, cheers, -- Christopher
