    emacs 22

    Anyone know if there's a repo with this on it yet? It's been out for weeks, there must be one somewhere with it

    I would assume Emacs 22 will be in Gutsy. However, it's possible that a Feisty package will eventually be backported.

    The "eventually" bit doesn't sound all that promising!!!!
    Sounds like a diy job

    Re: emacs 22

    You could, if you really wanted it, uninstall the version of emacs you have and compile the newest version.

    Re: emacs 22

    I rechecked, and there is a Debian repository for Emacs 22. Just google 'emacs 22 deb' and you'll find a site with the repo. The wisdom of installing a package built for Debian on an Ubuntu system is somewhat questionable, but if you REALLY want it...

    you can built it, but be sure you have the dev repos installed to enabe all features

    You can install the newest version by
    (1) extract package
    (2) ./configure
    (3) check if there are any header or dev repositories missing for building, especially support for X
    (4) sudo make
    (5) sudo make install
    (6) install the newest version of cedet, ecb
    (7) make changes in your .emacs file

    then enjoy!

    Question Re: emacs 22

    April 2008 is close and emacs 22 still isn't in repo. There should be a reason. Anyone knows why? License wars?

    /me uses the emacs-snapshot since almost 1 year...

    FWIW emacs 22 is in the feisty-backports and gutsy repositories.
    Not even tinfoil can save us now...
