I just updated
my org mode for the first time, using a snapshot, and I had
an issue with
org-install. Although I think it's resolved I'm documenting
it here in
case ....
a) I've done something incorrect which needs pointing out to
me
b) it helps others with the same problem
c) it is useful for
documentation etc
Here's what I did:
I read this thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/32427/ to find out how to get a
snapshot
(I had previously downloaded what I thought was the
latest version from http://orgmode.org/org-latest.zip but it's out of date at the moment)
I
downloaded the tar.gz from http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode.git/snapshot and unpacked it
I renamed my org-mode
directory to org-mode-backup and copied the downloaded org-mode directory into
its place
I started emacs and saw an error message about org-install (I'm not
relaying the message here since I think it's resolved now)
I opened an org
file and saw that at least some of my customisations were not active (faces),
then I closed emacs
I looked in the org-mode directory for org-install.el and
saw that it was missing
I searched the email list archives and read this
thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/11416
I copied over the org-install.el file from my
org-mode-backup directory into the new org-mode directory and restarted
emacs
Result: org mode updated, no errors
Hope this
helps!
