The tarball can be found at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.90.tar.gz Since Leim has been merged into Emacs, there is no separate leim-22.0.90.tar.gz (I'll update admin/make-announcement to reflect this). Since this is the first Emacs 22 pretest tarball, it would be nice if people could take a look and make sure there are no problems building from, before we think about making any pretest announcement. If no problems are found, I guess we can proceed with the pretest. According to admin/make-tarball, RMS is supposed to announce it to the list of emacs pretesters; here is the canned announcement generated by admin/make-announcement: There is a new pretest available in ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.90.tar.gz Please report results from compiling and running the pretest to . Your feedback is necessary for us to know on which platforms the pretest has been tried. (I took out some additional info about xdelta's between this tarball and the previous pretest tarball, because there is no previous tarball). The question is, who do we announce the pretest to? Is the emacs pretesters mailing list still extant? If not, I think we should just make a public announcement about the availability of the pretest tarball on the Gnu Emacs webpage. We could also contact distributions such as Debian, which package occasional CVS snapshots of Emacs 22, to switch to tracking the numbered pretest tarballs for those packages instead.
