Re: Emacs 24.1 Released

Well I let a lot of others test Waldorf out first 
I wouldn't try and install ver 24+ of emacs without a big reason as with my luck it probably wouldn't work anyway.
I does make me wonder why it's not in the repos for Waldorf - I mean people have been using ver 24 for more than a year.
I think it was only officially released about June2012. Yeah you dont expect the very latest version of 24 but A version would be nice.

Rule No.1 of Debian: It has to be grossly outdated to be accepted.
Rule No.2 of Debian: We won't accept anything while our repos are frozen, even if it's a  a cure for cancer.
Rule No.3 of Debian: Our repos are always frozen.

And eveything is working out of the box: org-mode, AucTex, Gnus.

That is the "unstable" repo from that site?

Re: Emacs 24.1 Released

Hmm you got my curiousity abt trying the newer version 
However adding the new source from the site mentioned didn't work for me - although I updated the sources in synaptic the newer version of emacs was not showing up so I just followed the guide on this site about getting it from github and all went well
installing from github
its 24.3.50.1
link to the github source
https://github.com/emacsmirror/emacs
