This is not an emacs problem, it is much bigger than that.
Ubuntu, and Debian (unless you are on unstable) ship with ancient versions of many things. This shows how inefficient the package maintainer system is. Lets see if snappy (or some competing technology) manages to fix that.
- disgruntledphd2 10y agoI find it odd that people seem unaware of build-dep, and downloading the source. I'm not a developer (I do data analysis), but compiling Emacs from source on Ubuntu (after running build-dep emacs24) has never caused me problems. But hey, I'm sure Arch is awesome, and if I had more time I'd totally be running it.
