Hi
I realised that I did not answer your meail

Ok, I do this only for test purposes

Hm, I see, but why can't I have the good old unix-like way and install
it say in /usr/local or as I prefer now /opt/emacs28 this way I could
test say a stable version like emacs27 and the current master emacs28
I think I will rise this question in the dev emacs list.
Regards
Uwe
