Emacs version is too old... Any chance to get an update?
Emacs version is too old... Any chance to get an update?
I use Emacs a lot at work, but some packages I need are starting to require Emacs24.4. There isn't any possibility to get a little update inside the same major version?
Re: Emacs version is too old... Any chance to get an update?
CentOS only rebuilds what Red Hat ship as part of RHEL. You'd have to ask them on bugzilla.redhat.com but given how old RHEL 7 is and its current status - pretty much maintenance only - I think it's quite unlikely to happen.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I'm trying to compile latest emacs instead, but is getting harder than expected. I will try to get the update from redhat. I think that some guys at work had the support subscription.
Thanks

Maintenance Support 2 Phase of RHEL 7 has no software enhancements:
Rebasing a package to get new features would be software enhancement.
What were the problems that you did encounter?
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errataSoftware enhancements are additions of new functionality beyond correcting defects or enabling previously existing functionality on a new hardware generation.

I know that someone did compile 26.x for CentOS 7, but no idea how.

Re: Emacs version is too old... Any chance to get an update?
There are several COPR repositories offering Emacs packages for EL 7. E.g.
27.2 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mlampe/emacs-27
27.1 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs ... s/emacs-27
26.3 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/leiwang/emacs
25.3 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs ... s/emacs-25
24.5 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs ... macs-epel7
and so on. Search on https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org
You may install packages from there directly, or just download their spec files and build yourself. E.g. here is the spec from the first repo listed above.

Finally I installed from COPR. Also I needed a newer version of SBCL, but that was easier to make a functional RPM. Thanks for telling me abour COPR
