Hi all,

I have a question regarding Org installation.  It is probably known, but=20
I=E2=80=99m failing to find proper guidance on the matter.  So, if I missed=
=20
something obvious, a pointer would be kind enough.

As far as I understand, there are three typical ways to =E2=80=9Cget=E2=80=
=9D Org: the=20
built-in version, which lags somewhat behind; (GNU) Elpa, the default=20
package repository, which offers the latest released version; and Org=20
Elpa, which we can add as a repository, and which offers weekly builds.

Also, as far as I get, only Org Elpa contains 'org-plus-contrib' for=20
installation. (Or am I missing something?)

I am a user of some of the 'contrib' packages, and would like to keep=20
that.  But I currently would like some more stability here, so I=E2=80=99d =
like=20
to get releases only for updates of Org (but the latest ones, such as=20
GNU Elpa does).  Is there a (recommended) way to do both of these things=20
at the same time?

Best regards,
Gustavo Barros.
