Getting emacs23 for Lenny

Posted by mkb on Wed 16 Sep 2009 at 19:06

Tags: none.
I'm eager to try org-mode for emacs and see it comes with emacs23. I've just updated from etch to lenny (only kinks were having to re-setup nVidia's driver, remove && install gdm+gnome, install a new VMware (just run the .bundle file worked a treat!)) only to discover there's no emacs23 available.

I've got the org-mode for Lenny's emacs22 but now I know of emacs23 I'm keen to try that - any ideas?

thanks, michael

You dont have to install a certain Debian version just to find out what packages are available for it, you can just look it up on the website. But I guess you wanted to upgrade to Lenny anyway...

emacs23 is in Sid and I guess you can backport it from there to Lenny without any problems (I didnt try that though).

I'd also take a look at planner-mode

This is the content of my /etc/apt/preferences

Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 800

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600


Just add the url for the unstable repository to /etc/apt/sources.list and then you can install emacs23 from the branch you prefer. For example: aptitude install emacs23 -t unstable
