i'm reading the FAQ, section about upgrading org, and it's not clear what one would do in the following situation.
i'm running ubuntu 12.04 and in emacs running "M-x org-version" i get, "version 6.33x". however, ubuntu has a separate org-mode package and, after installing that package via "apt-get install" and restarting emacs, i get "version 7.8.02". that seems to work fine. if that's an acceptable way to upgrade org, that should probably be mentioned in the FAQ -- that you might just be able to do a standard, distro-specific install of whatever represents the org-mode package and emacs will pick it up automatically. just an observation. rday p.s. also curious about the advice here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mixed-install in both cases above, when i asked for "org-version", i didn't get any "release" info in parentheses. all i saw was: "Org-mode version x.y.z" which might confuse a reader expecting to see release information. again, just another observation.
