emacs-app @24.3_1 default-directory on Mavericks

[bouttier__macports@…]

I just upgraded from Lion to Mavericks and, after reinstalling emacs-app, the default-directory variable is now "/" instead of "~/". Please restore the usual value.

In the future, please Cc relevant port maintainers (port info --maintainers emacs-app). And you do not have to Cc yourself.

Confirmed! Afetr moving from MLion to Mavericks the default "home" dir is "/" and not "~/". very annoying... :-(

Ciao, Angelo.

Please forgive this beginner's question, but "sudo port upgrade emacs-app" does not pick up this patch; reinstalling emacs-app creates version 24.3.1, not 24.3.2. Any pointers to how to apply this patch would be much appreciated.

[bouttier__macports@…]

I confirm that the patch given at #5 restores the wanted behavior.

I do not know if there is a better way but here is what I did (after downloading the patch file) :

cd `port dir emacs-app`
sudo patch -p1 < ~/Downloads/emacs-app-home.patch

Enter "Portfile" at the prompt "File to patch:", then :

sudo mv dports/aqua/emacs-app/files/patch-mavericks-* files
sudo rm -rf dports
sudo port upgrade emacs-app

THANK YOU! Worked like a charm with one change, which was to refer to port as "emacs-app" as in "sudo port upgrade emacs-app" on the last line.

Very much appreciated!

My mistake, corrected.

[graziosi.angelo@…]

Why this is not yet ported to the official emacs-app port?

Ciao, Angelo.
