Thanks for these binaries. 

I do see a build dated Nov 7:
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-20111107-r106319-bin-i386.zip

But there in nothing dated in month of November here:
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/

Would it possible for you to move the newly built binary to pretest dir
and assign it a name in 24.0.9* series?

This is not a pretest, but a trunk snapshot.  Why would you want it to
be in the pretest/ directory?  That would be confusing.

OK, I understand, it is a question of practice and tradition.

ps: I thought that a trunk snapshot after a pretest is better than
pretest - what with checkin controls and feature freezes etc - and hence
qualifies as a pretest build. I think what you mean here is that - it is
not blessed by the maintainers and it will not be widely announced.

It is a binary for Windows only.  The pretests are for all platforms (and are
generally not binaries).

There's no guarantees about that, although that is certainly the
aspiration.

The pretest binaries follow the official Emacs pretest releases and are 
built from the pretest tarball.

The weekly snapshot is built directly from the trunk at whatever 
revision it is at when I get to building it on Sunday/Monday. There was 
no weekly snapshot last week since the pretest was released (and built) 
that weekend.
