[Orgmode] [off-topic] emacs23 or emacs-snapshot-gtk (Ubuntu)
Hello fellow orgers, I have been using the emacs-snapshot package for a long time, since the era of Ubuntu 7.04, and it worked fine and I got all the latest versions of emacs with it. Now, I just installed 9.10 from scratch, and when I search for emacs on apt-cache, I get the following relevant packages: * emacs23 * emacs-snapshot-gtk The emacs-version for emacs23 returns: GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.2) of 2009-10-15 on yellow, modified by Debian For emacs-snapshot-gtk, I get: GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of 2009-09-27 on crested, modified by Debian Which one would be the most recent version (or better package to use)?

I had some problems using emacs23 in Karmic. Several errors loading my .emacs and a non functional emacs-lisp menu. Using the ppa from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-elisp/+archive/ppa everything works as expected using the same .emacs.

Thanks for the reply. I had some problems using emacs23 in Karmic. Several errors loading my .emacs and a non functional emacs-lisp menu. Using the ppa from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-elisp/+archive/ppahttps://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-elisp/+archive/ppaeverything works as expected using the same .emacs. What is the difference between the emacs23 and emacs-snapshot-gtk packages?

What is the difference between the emacs23 and emacs-snapshot-gtk packages? The snapshot is derived from the latest emacs in cvs. The emacs23 is the stable v23 release. The snapshot package will contain extra bugfixes, features and quite possibly some extra bugs:) Ian. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
