Also, there seems to be a separate package of "deps" for each: emacs-25-i686-deps.zip - AND - emacs-25-x86_64-deps.zip the need for which is also not explained anywhere (dependencies? dependencies for what?). Does anyone know what the difference between the i686 and x86_64 packages are? Does anyone know what the "deps" packages are for? Thanks, David
