I wish to upgrade to version 21.4 from sources. My emacs installation is located in /usr/local/emacs. What is the best way to upgrade from source while making sure that none of the configurations and the great packages that I have installed after a year or so of use, get lost, and work with version 21.4 ? Thanks.
