What is the fastest way to achive that? (I would > prefer to compile from source - I have the Git repository anyway, though > only shallow clone, but I can clone the whole thing, too.) 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. Oleh
