If anyone is running Debian and has been using or wants to try emacs 22, note that the emacs-snapshot package that use to be updated weekly in the debian unstable distribution has been orphaned. However, packages for both debian unstable and debian stable (sarge) are being maintained by the previous maintainer of the orphaned packages on his website. The site is at http://emacs.orebokech.com/ and includes instructions for adding the repository to your apt.sources file. Note that you should use the sarge versions if your not running debian unstable (the unstable packages are built with the latest versions of GTK+ and glibc. Upgrading these core packages on a non-unstable version of debian can be a bit of a pain. The sarge packages are built with what is distributed with sarge, so no additional package upgrades are required. And, yes, for the more observant of you, Debian etch is now available and is the 'stable' version of debian. I don't know if romaine (who maintains the emacs-snapshot packages) will start building the stable version against etch or continue building against sarge. regards, Tim -- Tim Cross tcross@xxxxxxxxxxx There are two types of people in IT - those who do not manage what they understand and those who do not understand what they manage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the emacspeak list or change your address on the emacspeak list send mail to "emacspeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxx" with a subject of "unsubscribe" or "help"
