Just curious, why you couldn't use latest emacs in RHEL/CentOS? I think emacs is quite easy to compile.

- craigching 11y agoIt's been quite awhile, but, IIRC, glibc incompatibilities in particular as well as other general libraries that weren't easy to build and compile. I make use of a ton of packages that require other current components that weren't available on "stable" releases. Changing hasn't presented any stability problems, so, for me, Fedora has been a good, stable distribution that still lets me use my tools. EDIT: Please note, my experience may or may not relate on CentOS7 or RHEL7, this was more CentOS 5 and early 6 versions where I ran into issues.
