I'd suggest using ELPA, but if you rather want to go the Git route, read on. > I'm leaning towards cloning the git repo and building Org-mode from > sources.

No. The most painless setup would be: $ cd ~/src/ $ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git $ git checkout maint $ make config Check if the installation paths are pointing to where you want them (it should work out-of-the box, but Debian based systems might prefer to have some stuff in different directories), maybe adapt them in local.mk and edit ~/.emacs to require org-loaddefs. From then on always do $ make up2 to pull the latest version, compile and test it and only install if the test is good. > Is using the archive or the package system a better > idea in my described case?
