I'm sure this is an FAQ, but I haven't been able to find it.
The Org-mode manual says under "Installation", "*If you are using a version
of Org that is part of the Emacs distribution or an XEmacs package, please
skip this section and go directly to
Activation<http://orgmode.org/manual/Activation.html#Activation>
."* The problem is that the distribution version I have, bundled in with
the emacs package supplied by openSUSE, is more than a major revision out
of date, at least with regard to org-mode. So the question is, what's the
proper way to upgrade it without breaking anything by accident?
Let's assume I have root access to the computer. Is it as simple as
downloading the current org-mode source, running make and all that, and
then replacing the existing .elc files in /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org
with the new ones?
