The trick is that you will be adding your new path/to/org-mode to the *front* of your load-path, so emacs will find it first. The old code will still be there, it just won't be used. No harm done, and minimal changes made. Org development proceeds much faster than Emacs, and the Emacs maintainers have a very conservative policy about inclusions. The result is that so far, the versions of org mode in an Emacs release are oldish versions already when the Emacs versions that include them are released. The Emacs-release versions of org-mode do have many bugs squashed that come up in the interval between their inclusion and the Emacs release, but not the new features. And since org has gotten some cool stuff lately, almost everyone who wants to really milk it has to do exactly what you'll be doing: install it afresh. (And in two months you may be wondering how you can get the development git version). Let us know if you need any help. if you need any help after reading the docs (and the Worg FAQ, then we need to improve Worg).

I thought it was a "bleeding" edge version but it is= apparantly running an old version of orgmode (5.03b). How can I install th= e latest version? Can I follow the official docs? The docs seem to assume t= hat orgmode is *not* installed on your system. If I add a load-path, will t= hat overwrite the old orgmode installed on my system? > > -- > --Thanks! > Uriel > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode >
