Hello,
what do you think of Emacs coming with an emacs-info command that
shows current Emacs build information. I miss a command that quickly
shows info about current Emacs.
My current implementation is very basic:
https://codeberg.org/mmontone/emacs-snippets/src/branch/master/emacs-info.el
And shows a buffer with:
----------------
Version: GNU Emacs 31.0.50 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.24.33, cairo version 1.18.0)
of 2024-08-13
Features: CAIRO DBUS FREETYPE GIF GLIB GMP GNUTLS GSETTINGS HARFBUZZ
JPEG LIBSELINUX LIBXML2 MODULES NOTIFY INOTIFY PDUMPER PNG SECCOMP SOUND
SQLITE3 THREADS TIFF TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS TREE_SITTER WEBP X11 XDBE XIM
XINPUT2 XPM GTK2 ZLIB
Native compilation: no
SVG: no
--------------
We have commands and variables to show this information already. See
M-x emacs-version
M-: emacs-build-system RET
M-: system-configuration RET
M-: system-configuration-features RET
M-: system-configuration-options RET
See also the command emacs-build-description, which inserts most of
the relevant information into the current buffer.
