Hi list, I'd like to install the new Org-mode (version 8). I'm wondering what method is the best for me. I have Emacs 23 (Ubuntu 12.04), but I plan to (1) upgrade to the newest Ubuntu 13.04 soon and (2) upgrade to Emacs 24 soon (I'll probably uninstall Ubuntu's Emacs and install my own, though rather not from sources, but from a .deb package).
So, my requirements would be: * I'd prefer the installed Org to survive the upgrades of Ubuntu and Emacs (of course, I'm going to uninstall Ubuntu's Org-mode 7.8.02). * I'd like the install method to be relatively quick - less than an hour, say, and I'd prefer my Org-mode to be relatively easy to upgrade later. I'm leaning towards cloning the git repo and building Org-mode from sources. From http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html I can see that what I should do is more or less cd ~/src/ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git make autoloads echo (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/orgdir/lisp") >> ~/.emacs make make doc make config make install Is that right? Is using the archive or the package system a better idea in my described case? What does upgrading Org-from-git-repo look like?
