Latest version of emacs for Cygwin

Latest version of emacs for Cygwin

[Taras_96]

Hi everyone,

I'm running cygwin and using the provided setup program to download &
install emacs. Using this setup program, the version of emacs that is
downloaded is version 21.2-13. However, the cygwin website lists
packages available for download, and the latest version of emacs in
*that* listing is 22.13 (http://cygwin.com/packages/emacs/). How come
the setup program isn't downloading this latest version, and how can I
get this latest version?

Thanks

Taras

Please ask this on the Cygwin mailing list.  The Cygwin package for
Emacs is prepared by Cygwin folks, not by Emacs maintainers.

Alternatively, download the source distribution and build Emacs
yourself.

For anyone wanting the answer:

If you change the view to 'All' rather than 'Categories', for some
reason emacs 22 appears as an option (this option does not appear when
viewing packages by category)

I think that use emacs from Cygwin is not pretty, then naive build form 
MinGW or MSVC (for GNU Emacs available build 
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/), especially this helpful if 
you use Emacs not only with Cygwin utils.

But for some task it good. For example use remote ssh connection to 
Windows with Emacs!

Consolidating Widely used Powerful emacs "features"

Hi,

Every once in a while we come across some emacs feature, which after
using for a few days, we wonder how we got along without this ?
This thread is to list those features that is very useful when using and
navigating through anything on the system using emacs.
I thought I was a power user in emacs, but after seeing ido.el recently
I realized how ignorant I had been all these days, which prompted me 
to start this list so that we can share our "discoveries".
Please do list features even if they are included in emacs as good ones
may be included later in emacs but some continue to be ignorant about
it. Case at point: bs.el. 


1) ido.el, isearchb, iswitchb ( amazing navigational tools, you've got to
                                            try it to appreciate it)
2) xcscope.el ( not cscope.el which I was using for a long time :( , this 
                        one with its colors and navigational beauty brings a
                        tear why nobody told you about this ).
3) tabbar.el ( Thank you for the bells & whistles but most deal with
                      only buffers 95% of the time. no ? )
4) bs.el ( the default buffer showing in emacs is good, but this is more
               powerful ).
5) color-theme.el  ( Finally what everyone wants at the end of the 
                               day :variety )
6) session.el ( No matter how deep you are in your project, no matter
                      how long a break you take, you're back in business in a 
                      jiffy with this. )
