And > that this is what will be released. It isn't what will be released. What will be released is what is _tagged_ as the release, and once it is tagged, there will be a tarball for it. If we are in the process of being close to a release, we also have pretest tarballs. People who are dealing on a regular base with Emacs' CVS are also told to read emacs-devel to know what they are dealing with. And sorry, if you have not noticed by now by the ongoing discussions on emacs-devel that there is an EMACS_22_BASE branch that is going to be used for releasing Emacs 22.1, then no amount of additional handholding is going to help you. Don't tell me that you are reading the static Emacs CVS instructions regularly and would have noticed if recently some branch-specific info would have been put there. -- David Kastrup
