If you are a reviewer here, this is a heads-up in case you would like to test your USES=cran ports with R-4.6.0. I hope to push by the end of the work week.

This will be a useful verification step. I sometimes submit a review and then notice that the summary isn't displaying as I intended.

I'd say it's fine as is. My one comment verges on nitpicking, so feel free to ignore it.

I tested a few flavor/version combinations in poudriere, and they all look good.

@thj, there are a few other changes you need from D56051: https://pkg.ftfl.ca/data/16amd64-default/2026-04-17_10h57m45s/logs/errors/vpp-26.02.log

Install the libraries with COPYTREE_SHARE

As @alven noted, this was committed in bc45b7ec889c7662bbbc64d26b00424db8dcb741, and there were some follow-up fixes in 07ed11c5d4f7893f3ca5bbf72cdf46ffa4a517b2 and 68c8d4070d4a132d0fbd5f75307fd3d7beac4221. For some unknown reason, this review wasn't auto-closed, so closing it manually.

Fix typo

• Rather than declare a new variable to disable native compilation of FreeBSD ports, reuse the existing variable, native-comp-jit-compilation, which controls native compilation of all third-party elisp.
• Tweak documentation
• Update pkg-message

Thanks for this overhaul of emacs infrastructure.

Based on these patches, I rebuilt and installed editors/emacs and math/ess; I didn't need to apply the script from UPDATING.
The port math/ess works as expected with the patches and is actually much faster with long R scripts ;)

BTW and a bit off-topic: Is it still necessary for editors/emacs to set the following option to GCC version 13?

OPTION NATIVECOMP_USE= GCC=13

This is a patch for japanese/ddskk.

• Incorporate improvements from @mce
  • Patch the build rather than delete .elc from STAGEDIR in a post-install target

• Set @tijl as maintainer of devel/gettext-po-mode
• japanese/navi2ch/pkg-plist: Uses PLIST_SUB variable

• Change an instance of EMACS_VERSION_SITE_LISPDIR to EMACS_VERSION_LISPDIR in textproc/yaml.el; this was accidentally missed earlier

• DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=emacs=... now sets the Emacs port and flavor used for USES=emacs:build ports
• Fix a whitespace error noted by @mandree
• Add a function to clean up stale eln-cache subdirectories left by previous Emacs builds

@mandree, I fixed one double blank line in UPDATING, but as far as I can see, all the others are false positives in generated patches such as audio/emms/files/patch-Makefile. You can see the space before tab complaints are just the diff context markers before a TAB. In these cases, because those lines were unchanged, there is a space instead of a + or -.

Does this approach work for your use case?Hi @freebsd_dev.thsi.be,

Rebase and fix merge conflicts after @mce's refactoring of japanese/navi2ch

• Fix a regexp issue in default.el.in. When I switched some regexps to be anchored at the end of string rather than end of line, I switched, e.g., "\\.elc$" to "\\.el\\" when I should have done "\\.el\\'".

I moved these changes to D56116. It's better to commit this in one go.

• Regexps like \\.el$ should be anchored at the end of the string rather the end of the line (\\.el\\).
• Move the elsip port changes from D56116 to here; it's better to make this one commit.

Tweak some pkg-messages:

Load all autoloads files installed by FreeBSD elisp ports. This mirrors what package.el does for ELPA packages, ensuring that autoloaded functions are available without requiring users to explicitly load each package.

• Put the variable definitions in site-start.el, and the rest of the startup code in default.el. This separation makes it easier for users to selectively disable native or byte compilation.
• Rebase.

• Add support for byte compilation
• Add variables to allow users to easily disable either byte compilation or native compilation

I thought of this as an addendum to your work, and, ideally, we reviewers should have caught it in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D55938. Since you're busy tackling the arm32 and powerpc64 stuff, I'll take care of this.

I responded to the commit mail, but it might be helpful to include this in the review for posterity.

Minor change to print/pdf-tools

Guard native-compile-async in site-start.el so it only runs in interactive sessions, not batch mode.
