Package managers and distros were discussed. I have a more basic question. The distro I'm using doesn't provide Emacs 25, I'm still on 24.4. So, I want to compile Emacs 25. The problem for me is the configuration flags. I don't understand them that well. What configuration flags would this list recommend? BR, Robert Thorpe
