I've soft-linked:
- /usr/local/bin/emacs to /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.5
- /usr/local/bin/newemacs to /home/oleh/git/gnu-emacs/src/emacs
This way I always have access to the newest git version with only "make"
(no "make install"). And also to the latest stable version in case the
git version breaks.
As for the Git repository, currently it's 742M in the compiled
state. I'm sure the download amount is much less.
