What's the newest version of emacs, and where is it?

What's the newest version of emacs, and where is it?

[David Combs]

Like, anything newer than 21.3.1?

And if so, where would one find it?

I've tried this:

  <LI><a href="ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu">/pub/gnu directory</a>

but it's too busy to get into.

(if it's in some CVS place, well, I've got some reading
 (about CVS) to do!  Plain ftp-site shoure would be easier!)

Thanks!

David

Thanks!

Now to find out *how* to grab something via cvs (which
I definitely *dread* having to learn -- I've tried
the CVS book (O'Reilly), and no nice simple examples,
apparently.  Gotta read the whole thing, *hundreds*
of pages, it seems.  And just to download ONE file -- UGH!)

If you are not happy using CVS, then you probably do not want the
bleeding edge emacs that you are going to get from it. 

The website tells you an easy way to use CVS

cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co <modulename>



like so. 

You will not get one file, but rather all the source for emacs.
