If you are behind a firewall (the way I am), you could use Mercurial repository which is updated daily from the CVS head. I use it for my daily dosage of fresh emacs. Mercurial is implemented in python and is well ported (IMHO: and far superior to other SCM) repo: http://hg.intevation.org/emacs Some basic commands: First checkout: $ hg clone http://hg.intevation.org/emacs Subsequent updates: $ hg pull -u with best regards, dky -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Contents reflect my personal views only!
