Just check out the > trunk [1] and rebuild on a regular basis? Yes, that is ideal. If you do that, you'll probably want to keep an eye on emacs-devel@gnu.org (it's a fairly high-traffic list, tho), for known breakage and things like that. > Are there incremental branches done between release versions? No. We do have pretests, tho (the one for 23.2 will start real-soon-now), so you could help a lot by trying out the pretests and hammering on them to try and fix more bugs before the release. Stefan
