Is it possible to install emacs on OPNsense?
I've been unable to find a package for it.

TIA

Hi there,

First time time question was asked, so no. We only have joe, nano and vim-console at this point.

Do you know the name of a lightweight emacs package in FreeBSD? We should add it if it's being used. :)


Cheers,
Franco

@franco,

I do not know of a lightweight emacs package for FreeBSD. But then OPNsense is my first real exposure to FreeBSD so that's not a surprise  ;)

I took a look at joe and it has a an "emacs mode" (started with the jmacs command), that seems reasonable. I think it will take care of the biggest problem that I have with nano and VI, that being about 30 years of emacs motor memory in my fingers. :)

Thanks.

Found and added "emacs-nox" package. Enjoy as soon as 18.1.8 is out...
