AFAIK, Emacs has never released any patches (is there a project that does?), only tarballs of new versions where some problems are fixed (and new exciting ones are added ;-). > Pre-release candidates should be available more visibly That already happened, I think: the directory on alpha.gnu where we put the pretests is no longer secret or unreadable. And on top of that, there's anon CVS access. Isn't that enough?
