I filed a bug some time ago pointing out that the snapshot package was considerably older than the one in the main distro. I seem to remember that emacs-snapshot was removed from the main repos. I don't use Ubuntu as a desktop anymore, so can't easily check. Hi, Ian. The last Ubuntu emacs-snapshot was built 6 days ago, and it is now kept up to date, and is also being worked on in Debian-unstable. http://emacs.naquadah.org/ I did some searching a few days ago and some listserv claimed that "snapshot" is slightly different from the general EMACS and is not just an early snapshot of the general EMACS.
