Emacs 21 was released in October 2001, the various 21.x releases since then were maintenance releases so the various modes haven't been updated.
If you want a recent Emacs, use the `emacs-snapshot' package, sarge packages are available from my repo, see: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsCvsAndDebian Also, note that: 1. you should *never* change files that are under dpkg's control, or bad things may happen, 2. replacing the .el file as you suggest would have no effect, Emacs loads the compiled (.elc) file. But don't replace it! -- ,''`. : :' : Romain Francoise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> `. `' http://people.debian.org/~rfrancoise/ `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
