Hi,
I have Ubuntu 10.10. The software package that is available in the Software Center and Synaptic is 23.1 (which I installed), but I'd like to install the latest release (23.3). What's the best way to go? I know that you're supposed to try to find a deb package if possible, but there's only tar.gz files on the official GNU site. I found this site:
http://ir.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/emacs23/
which seems to have the deb package for 23.3, but I don't know anything about this site and if I can trust it.
I found version 23.2 here:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/
though I'd still prefer the latest version. But again, I don't know this site either.
What's the best for me to get 23.3 where it will just work and I don't start getting dependency errors?
Thank you
