Hello, is it possible to provide frequent source snapshots of the
Emacs source tree? For example once a week? The git tree from github [1] [2] is
currently > 700 mb, its getting bigger on each commit and pretty fast. I dont
know how big the bzr tree currently is. It would be useful for people who dont
want to get directly involved with Emacs development, but still want a very
recent version of it. For most these people keeping track of commit history
doesnt make sense.
AFAIK there is an unofficial repository providing binary packages for Debian
and Ubuntu packages [3] plus Ubuntu has emacs-snapshot in their universe
repository but package is from 2009 [4]. Hopefully providing frequent snapshots
of the sources tree will ease things for everyone as the Emacs sources without
commit history are ~100mb. Anyone else finds this a good idea?
