MELPA always contains the latest master, so it's much newer than 0.8.1. > The Geiser repository is unreachable now ( https:// > git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/geiser.git ) I wasn't aware about this repo, but the development happens on github. > There's a github copy here https://github.com/jaor/geiser > but I'm not sure about the branches I saw there If you want to use a git checkout, use 'master' branch. > I'd wait for Alex to clarify things a bit > > In the meantime, can I try geiser-next ? Or is it gonna break things > irreparably ? Absolutely not! You can try it. Actually the mentioned bug was one of the main reason that Christopher added 'geiser-next' package. I didn't try it but it should work. This is a simple checkout of a Geiser commit, so it is as stable as MELPA. 'geiser-next' is more "fresh" than 0.8.1 but less fresh than MELPA (16 commits were made to Geiser since 'geiser-next' was added). -- Alex
