Installation on offline machines

[Edmund Christian Herenz]

Hi,

I just got a bit confused about the announcement:

 "Also, Org 9.5 is available as tar.gz and zip archives, but this installation 
method is also deprecated."

>From the methods that were available this was the easiest method for
obtaining and distributing the latest versions org-mode on systems
that have no internet accsess.  Can you elaborate why you want to
deprecate this method?

As I also wasn't able to locate neither the zip nor the tar I cloned
the git now like this:

git clone -b 'release_9.5' --single-branch --depth 1  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/org-mode.git 

and made a .tar.gz from that.

Is this different then from what I would get if I download the tar
from GNU ELPA?

Please CC me in answers to the message, as I am not (yet) subscribed
to the org mailinglist.

Best regards,
Christian
