<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey people!</p> <p>In my previous GNU/Linux distribution I was using Emacs 28 but in the package repos of my current one (Void Linux), Emacs 28 is not there (<a href="https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=x86_64&q=emacs">https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=x86_64&q=emacs</a>).</p> <p>I miss some of its features. That's why I would like to compile it from source. I know a lot of you guys do this: which is your criteria to chose a branch or tag from which to compile, from the Emacs repo? (<a href="https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/tree/master">https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/tree/master</a>)</p> <p>I want to use the latest more or less stable version possible, not the most bleeding edge one possible. Since I don't want to potentially run into errors on a daily basis or anything like that.</p> <p>Should I go for the latest tag possible, i.e. <a href="https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/releases/tag/emacs-28.0.90">emacs-28.0.90</a>? If I understand correctly, tags are meant to indicate each latest stable version, don't they? Or should I go for the HEAD of any specific branch?</p> <p>Thanks a lot in advance!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Desmesura"> /u/Desmesura </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/rtpjs9/which_version_of_emacs_should_i_use/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/rtpjs9/which_version_of_emacs_should_i_use/">[comments]</a></span> |
