I would like to add, the community always needs help, and writing code
is not the only way to do that. From your message it seems to me you
have a rather elaborate use for Org. It might serve as a great test
case. If you follow the list regularly, then you could help by testing
the maint branch from time to time (or even master, up to you).
You do not need to know how to use git, you have two options:
- simply download the tarballs from the gitweb interface (see the
"snapshot" links, http://orgmode.org/w/org-mode.git),
- use elpa (either GNU, Org's own)
As for git, I have included the bash function I use to update Org once a
week. If you are interested, feel free to ask me Git questions
off-list.
function update_org() {
pushd ~/build/org-mode # my Org repo and install directory
local dorebase=$(git rev-list origin/master..master|wc -l)
git stash
git checkout master
if [[ $dorebase -gt 0 ]]; then
git pull --rebase --stat
else
git pull
fi
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
echo "+++ Check if merged successfully. +++"
echo "==> Want to continue?"
select yesorno in "Yes" "No"; do
case $yesorno in
Yes)
echo "+++ Building Org-mode $(git branch|egrep '\*') +++";
make compile autoloads info "$@" &> log
[ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "+++ Build failed +++" && break;
echo "+++ Installing Info files +++";
make install-info
break;;
No)
echo "Aborting on user command.";
break;;
*)
echo "==> Choose Yes or No by typing 1 or 2."
esac
done
else
echo "Merge failed, aborting."
fi
popd
}
Hope this helps,
