I believe this is a CVS snapshot, but it isn't up to date with org mode. I'm not sure it's useful for me to be on the bleeding edge, but if it is, what would be the best way to install the up-to-date package over the top of a package install? I find the package install is helpful, over compiling CVS, because it enables all the little nits with the OS. I thought of deleting the files in the emacs tree? Then installing the additional lines to .emacs.el? I wasn't able to find an answer to this.
