Not really. The best way to do this is to download and unpack the Debian emacs22 source package, e.g. with "apt-get source emacs22". There you can find all the patches in the debian/patches subdirectory. > I can't remember all the files that are modified, but it does include > startup.el and I think paths.el and possibly some others. > > You will also need to make the site-lisp of the installed CVS version > (i.e. probably /usr/local/share/emacs/23.x/site-lisp a symbolic link to > /usr/share/emacs22/site-lisp. Could you elaborate on that? The Debian packaged Emacsen look for site-lisp directories both under /usr/share and under /usr/local/share. > Note also that when emacs is built, aI think it dumps an image of itself to > speedup startup.

Correct. > At one stage there were some emacs22 snapshot packages being done - maybe > google to see if you can find someone else who has done all the hard work Snapshots of the Emacs trunk are still built weekly by Romain Francoise, see http://emacs.orebokech.com/. That's probably the best starting point for building a debianized unicode-2 Emacs. Sven
