I suppose the [M]ELPAs are sort > of that. I for one *hate* those softwares which go rampant on their own upgrade schedule and very much prefer the distro doing this. I trust[1] e.g. Debian much more than some random app (esp. a web browser). The alternative is Windows, or the bunch o'apps on your smartphone (I haven't one). Thanks, but no thanks. Just the applications I have a special relationship with get that special treatment, and I like to decide myself which those are (those apps who seem to "think" they're special somehow seem to be a reflection of their primadonna developers. Nasty, I know). > Does a lot of things happen between versions? > I have a printed manual from version 18, and it > comes with lots of propaganda for the GNU cause > as well. Because it's a good cause ;-) But yes, Emacs doesn't make a lot of noise, and has a knack for relatively painless upgrades, but progresses at a good pace nevertheless. Cheers [1] Trust is a very subjective thing. It kind of reduces to "X (in this case the distro) does what I deem to be The Right Thing most of the time". - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAln0K08ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kYeBwCePzXctLLxhDLmPnMsMX5+UkWn s8oAn0UskZfpDyVJIoOLgmXaXS6zzLsR =FBdV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
