In 12.04 , emacs version is 23.3.1. How to install the latest version ?
I remember there is a PPA about the newer Emacs.
Emacs 24.5 can be compiled and installed manually in 12.04?
Is here anyone who compiles Emacs 24.5 in Ubuntu 12.04?
Which one should I use sudo apt-get build-dep emacs23 or sudo apt-get build-dep emacs24, if I compile Emacs 24.5 in 12.04?
