Hello,
I'm wondering if this repo is kept uptodate frequently.
I cloned, compiled and installed emacs from the master branch which
points to this commit: 8e282b1c43fd6768a9ec339f5cb8aefd4d2fc2
Date: Wed Apr 29 04:46:15 2009 +0000
Asking to the freshly installed emacs its version gives me:
$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 23.0.92.1
I don't think it is the latest emacs.
Does anybody have any information on this repo ?
thanks

I think emacs developpers are working actually on the savannah repo.
It's better waiting all problems are fixed before (re)installing emacs.

Can't I use this repo to retrieve pre-release or something like ?
In the repo, there are tags such as: EMACS_PRETEST_23_0_92.
Is it 'safe' to use such revisions ?
Also I saw that some people are using emacs 23.0.94. Where do they get
this release if it's not in the dev repo ?
thanks

Hi Francis,
I cloned the Git repository a while back. The last commit in the
origin/master branch is:
commit c2f9b5857cc50663229ad3ec28608fe615ac9e34
Author: Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
Date: Sat May 30 00:31:59 2009 +0000
* coding.c (get_translation_table): Check Venable_character_translation.
This is sufficiently recent, and I have pulled changesets from this in
my personal Mercurial clone. The snapshot of Emacs that I built this
morning is:
GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i386-unknown-freebsd8.0, GTK+ Version 2.16.2) of 2009-06-04 on kobe
So, to the best of my knowledge, a short answer is: ``Yes, you can use
the git repository to build recent Emacs snapshots.''

I just pulled and it updated the repo to the commit you showed
above. !
I just did clone 2 days ago and I did only receive commits up to the
one I mentioned in my initial post. So apparently this mirror repo is
kept uptodate but not every days.
> This is sufficiently recent,
Yes indeed but I was just wondering why with a just cloned repo I did
have a emacs version older than the one used by some people.

Do you use a specific tag when building a snapshot or do you use a
random commit ?
Thanks

I briefly look at the commit logs of the origin/master branch and pick
one that `seems stable'.
This means, of course, that when commits hit the tree with a greater
frequency than now (a pre-release period) the chance of randomly picking
a broken changeset is greater. But I can live with that. Most of the
time just merging the latest change of origin/master with my own stuff
and building Emacs just works.

Just to clarify
The savannah server had a hardware fault (disk I think) a few days
back. Unfortunately, due to issues with their backups, they didn't/don't
have a recent backup of many of the source code repositories. Therefore,
they are having to get versions pushed back from developer's own git
repositories (not sure what they plan for the cvs and svn repos).
What this means is that the current repository is likely the one from
the last reliable backup, which I think may have been as far back as
April.
So, my advice would be to wait another few days and see if the
repository becomes more up-to-date.
Tim

thanks for clarifying, actually the server seemed to become up to date
once Giorgos replied.
