Worth doing fresh checkout of emacs 22 branch

Worth doing fresh checkout of emacs 22 branch

[Eric Lilja]

Hello!

Right now I'm running GNU Emacs 22.0.99.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 
2007-04-24

I noticed my laptop was using a lot older version so I'm trying to 
decide if I should copy the binaries from my main computer or build 
again using a fresh checkout. I know the emacs release is Really Close 
Now<tm>, but it's been a few weeks since the last prerelease and I was 
thinking that maybe fixes have gone in that could be worth having. What 
do you say? It takes less than ten minutes for me to do full bootstrap 
so that time spent is not an issue.
Here's my build script for the emacs 22 branch btw:
#!/bin/bash
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
touch ~/.cvspass
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co -r 
EMACS_22_BASE emacs
rm ~/.cvspass
cd emacs/nt/
./configure.bat --with-gcc --no-cygwin --no-debug
mingw32-make bootstrap --jobs=2 XMFLAGS="--jobs=2"
mingw32-make install

Is that correct if I want to build the latest sources of what is going 
to be Emacs 22?

Yes, except that I suggest to use "co -kb", in order to avoid EOL
mangling, especially in *.bat files that already have one CR after
each LF.

Ok, I already went ahead and used the script since I got too restless 
waiting for replies, hehe. :) Next time I perform a checkout I will make 
sure to add it, thanks for pointing this out!

As it feels now I will use CVS head after emacs 22 is released since I 
want some fixes that are not going to be added to the 22 branch at this 
time so close to the release and therefore it's good to have an optimal 
script for performing checkouts and building emacs.
