I thought it would be nice, to do the whole bunch of actions at once for users tracking the development version of Org-mode: * git - clone the repo - pull * Download and unpack org-latest.tar.gz in case no git is installed or the user doesn't want to use git to track Org. Git cloning and pulling is now done as recommended in our FAQ (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#keeping-local-changes-current-with-Org-mode-development) which is based on Bernt's suggestions, I believe. Optionally, the whole thing sets up a local branch for you, that is rebased automatically (again, see the FAQ entry for more no this). What's still missing, is a function to download and unpack org-latest.tar.gz, which I will do during the next days. We should add that feature for people not willing/being able to install git. I've set up a repo on github for this. If you want to contribute, you could (a) clone/fork the repo, (b) send me your public key that you wish to use with that repo so I can add it, or (c) just send patches. Best regards, Sebastian
