It seems i'm flooding John's inbox trying to send back this message into
the discussion. I'm deeply sorry for that.
I did what John suggested:
- git clone...
- cd to the repository
- make (which i think does two things, byte-compilation and generating
org-loaddefs.el)
- add lisp dir to load-path
It did worked since M-x org-version shows the right path (and version), but
i'm used to browse the Info manual quite regularly. Before switching to
GNU/Linux I used to install the ELPA package on a freshly unpacked Emacs
(trunk builds for Windows); it was a pretty straightforward process and it
seems to take care of everything. I'm not going to do that again since the
ELPA package comes from the maint branch.

Thanks for your reply. Which one is the default install method? If it's
'make install', do i need to tweak local.mk because of the location of my
Emacs installation (as explained here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html#sec-4-1-3)? In my system
(Debian) Emacs is in /usr/local/.
And does this method allows to have the latest info manual without
overriding the built-in org-mode installation?
