From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607 Description of problem: If you choose not to install X during installation, Emacs won't get installed either. The base Emacs package gets installed but neither emacs-nox or emacs-x11 does. I want Emacs to get installed even if I don't install X. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get an IA64 machine and a copy of RHAS 2. During installation, go with the easy route (i.e. not the customized install) 3. Deselect X11 when you get the chance. 4. After installation is done and you have rebooted, log in as whoever and type "emacs" at the prompt. Actual Results: bash: emacs: command not found Expected Results: Emacs should have been started. Additional info: As I said before, neither emacs-nox nor emacs-x11 gets installed. I would prefer if emacs-x11 (and thus libxaw3d) got installed regardless of whether the user wants X on the server or not. That I don't want a GUI on the server doesn't mean I don't want X in a window when ssh:ing in. Feel free to lower the severity to "enhancement" or "low" if you think "normal" is too high. Personally I feel quite handicapped without Emacs so for me this one feels more like "normal: it's a bug that should be fixed", than "low: minor loss of function or problem where easy workaround is present".
RHEL2.1 is in maintenance mode at this time. Packaging changes are no longer occurring. Apologies for having this one slip through the cracks. RHEL2.1 had pretty rigid packaging constraints that were lifted in RHEL3, RHEL4 and Fedora due to more flexible packaging design.
