Hello fellow orgers,
I have been using the emacs-snapshot package for a long time, since the era
of Ubuntu 7.04, and it worked fine and I got all the latest versions of
emacs with it. Now, I just installed 9.10 from scratch, and when I search
for emacs on apt-cache, I get the following relevant packages:
* emacs23
* emacs-snapshot-gtk
The emacs-version for emacs23 returns:
"GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.2) of 2009-10-15
on yellow, modified by Debian"
For emacs-snapshot-gtk, I get:
"GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of
2009-09-27 on crested, modified by Debian"
Which one would be the most recent version (or better package to use)?
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo.

I had some problems using emacs23 in Karmic. Several errors loading my
.emacs and a non functional emacs-lisp menu. Using the ppa from
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-elisp/+archive/ppa everything works as
expected using the same .emacs.

What is the difference between the emacs23 and emacs-snapshot-gtk packages?

This fixes the missing menus for me:
#!/bin/bash
# edit
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
emacsclient --alternate-editor="" -c $@

The snapshot is derived from the latest emacs in cvs. The emacs23 is the
"stable" v23 release. The snapshot package will contain extra
bugfixes, features and quite possibly some extra bugs:)

Thanks. There seem to be a couple of bug reports with
similar problems to mine for Karmic. I'll give your fix
a try.
So it looks as though it's a GTK not an Emacs bug.
Best wishes,
Ian.
