freebsd stable - Jul 2009 - 8.0-RELEASE and Emacs port

Hello! A few hours ago, Chong Yidong, Emacs maintainer, has been
released Emacs 23.1 on gnu.org's mailing lists. Since i use Emacs
as default mailer, i really want that FreeBSD Project Release Team to
add Emacs 23.1 (Stable Ver.) into FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE. Because i use
only -RELEASE branch as far as i possibly can. Then i can use pkg_add
instead of ports, so easily. Thanks in advance ..;;

Sincerely,

Hi Byung-Hee,

AFAIK, The ports are not frozen yet.  I think we can make it by updating
the port before this weekend.

There is a bit of testing to make sure that we can repo-copy the
editors/emacs port to editors/emacs22 and check that the new
editors/emacs port for 23.1 works fine.

I'm working on it, and I will post patches soon-ish :)
