[R-SIG-Mac] Mac M1 emacs

[Simon Urbanek]

FWIW I have a command-line-only version of emacs in the libs-arm64 directory:

https://mac.r-project.org/libs-arm64/emacs-27.1-darwin.20-arm64.tar.gz

It is intentionally compiled without GUI so a replacement for the emacs as was shipped by Apple in older versions of macOS (see 
https://github.com/R-macos/recipes/tree/master/recipes
for the recipe if you want to tweak it to add GUI support or similar).

Cheers,
Simon
