However I could perhaps upload something now to my > site instead. How about that? Every little bit helps, of course. Thanks, Lennart. However, that's not the real solution. Pretest testers will (and should) = look for Windows binary pretests at the GNU location created for them: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/ That's the only purpose of that directory, as stated in the README. And pretest binaries should correspond to the pretest source code = exactly. Otherwise, we can be comparing apples and oranges (which can mean = confusion and more work for everyone involved). And `report-emacs-bug' should correctly address the pretest mailing list = (that didn't happen the last time you made a binary available informally for = pretest testing). So yes, thank you - that will help. But whatever happened to the Windows = builds volunteered by Sean Sieger?
