How to install recent documentation of org 8.2?

[Martin Beck]

I tried to get a recent documentation in my org-mode:

I'm using Aquamacs 2.5 on MacOS X, which seems to have org-mode 6.33
"onboard".

I tried to load the recent documentation with a link to the "doc" directory
in my org-mode 8.2 (expanded contents from git repository) in my .emacs.
 
(add-to-list 'Info-additional-directory-list
             (expand-file-name "~/mypath/org-mode/org_current/doc"))

But this does have no effect. With C-h i, I get displayed a an outdated
org-manual.

Is the "doc" directory the right one or do I have to download the
documentation separately?
I had downloaded the zipped version from http://orgmode.org/org-8.2.1.zip .

Kind regards

Martin

The following worked for me, however in a different environment (Gentoo
Linux with org-mode 8.2 installed via the package manager).  My Org 8.2
info file ended up in /usr/share/info/org, whereas the one packaged by
Emacs is in /usr/share/info/emacs-24.  I couldn't get the directory
settings in Emacs right, but the following worked:

I created my own info directory and prepended it to the INFOPATH
environment variable:

export INFOPATH="$HOME/.emacs.d/info:$INFOPATH"

In this directory, I created a symlink to the Org 8.2 info:

$ ls -l ~/.emacs.d/info
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 clange clange 19 Sep 14 15:20 org -> /usr/share/info/org

HTH,

Christoph

[M]

thanks a lot!
I found the old versions of the org documentation in the same path
/usr/share/info and replaced them by the new org file from the doc
directory.

Sure, when installing the next version I'll have to think of that, but at
least now it works.

Also Mac, but using emacs from homebrew

,----
| GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1187.39) of 2013-09-05 on Rainers-MacBook-Pro.local
`----

I followed this with interest, as I have the same problem. Replacing the
file with a link, worked for the help via the org-mode menu, but I can't
find it in the top level of the info files. Is there anything I have to
do in addition?

My Info-directory-list is as follow:
,----
| ("/Users/rainerkrug/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.87" "/Users/rainerkrug/.emacs.d/elpa/magit-20130902.311" "/Users/rainerkrug/.emacs.d/elpa/w3m-20130902.1802" "/usr/local/info/" "/usr/share/info/")
`----

and I have the org info file in /usr/local/info :

,----
| $ ls /usr/share/info/or*
| /usr/share/info/org		/usr/share/info/org-1.bak	/usr/share/info/org-2.bak	/usr/share/info/org.bak
`----

Even before putting the link in, the org info was not in the top level
info.

Any suggestions? As far as I though, info would scan the directories to
generate the info tree?

I have a link in my .emacs.d (named org-mode) which I link to the latest
version in separate directories (org-VERSIONNUMBER ang org-git). So I
can easily switch, and the link would stay there.

Cheers,

Rainer
