How does one go about installing 22 to local home on
Debian Sarge without involving the sysadmin?

check out the source from the GNU cvs repository,
change into the top-level directory,
type "./configure --prefix ~/local",
type "make bootstrap",
type "make install" (optional).

look at INSTALL.CVS for more info.

this process is not restricted to Debian Sarge.
i use it myself (w/o installing -- instead i do:
"cd ~/bin ; ln -s ~/build/GNU/emacs/src/emacs bloody-emacs"
and use "bloody-emacs").

i used to be afraid of wandering outside the debian package
system, but that fear has passed playing w/ emacs 22.  ymmv.

./configure --prefix=$HOME
make bootstrap
make install

and

export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
export INFOPATH=$HOME/info:$INFOPATH
export MANPATH=$HOME/man:$MANPATH

but your sysadmin may not like

$ du -hs ~/cvs-src/emacs/
217M    /home/dhansen/cvs-src/emacs/

(including the compiled files)

the final installed emacs takes 77,6M on my box, so it's not quite that
bad if you delete build files and source.

And for people who haven't yet overcome that fear, Emacs 22 is also
available as a Debian package (in Debian unstable and Ubuntu), see

Some 10 minutes on a not that fast machine.  But you don't
need to care.  Just do your normal work during this time
(and probably use nice -19 make bootstrap if you or someone
else needs the cpu).

But you want to update regularly, especially if you are a
good user who uses `report-emacs-bug'.  So removing the
sources is not an option, IMHO.
