Subject: Emacs source snapshots
Date: Wed, 04 May 2011 12:39:29 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1304501969.6763.1448069069@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
Hello, is it possible to provide frequent source snapshots of the
Emacs source tree? For example once a week? The git tree from github [1] [2] is currently > 700 mb, its getting bigger on each commit and pretty fast. I dont know how big the bzr tree currently is. It would be useful for people who dont want to get directly involved with Emacs development, but still want a very recent version of it. For most these people keeping track of commit history doesnt make sense.
AFAIK there is an unofficial repository providing binary packages for Debian and Ubuntu packages [3] plus Ubuntu has emacs-snapshot in their universe repository but package is from 2009 [4]. Hopefully providing frequent snapshots of the sources tree will ease things for everyone as the Emacs sources without commit history are ~100mb. Anyone else finds this a good idea?
