Those who have trouble compiling the emacs 25 git sources, please try the emacs-pretest package at <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/emacs-pretest/>. Thank you.

Yes, there is a versioned executable but the installation script links it to the emacs one. Installing both versions side-by-side is more convoluted that you think. It takes more than deleting a symbolic link. Besides, it goes against the idea of eating your dogfood when you are a tester/power user. I'll think over it.

Is there a reason for the conflict with the 'emacs' package? It would be interesting to have both installed, 'emacs' for day-to-day and 'emacs25-git' for trying out, testing and keeping up to date with developments.

If you're having a failure in the pkgver during makepkg adjust the sed expression in the PKGBUILD's pkgver to something like sed -e 's/^.\+\ \([0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.\?[0-9]\?\).\+$/\1/')" The only difference is to make the "micro" (third) version number optional.

Ahh, or use master. That one works fine from git://

There are problems with savannah that started a week ago and don't seem to be solved as of today. The git:// service is up again, but all branch information is gone. I won't be switching back until they restore from a good backup. Be patient :-)

I know how to use git :-) Sorry, should have posted an error message. When you start fresh, i.e. download the PKGBUILD and the other files from this AUR package and put them in an empty directory, then run "makepkg": ==> Making package: emacs25-git 25.0.91.r124452-1 (Sun Feb 28 19:44:45 CET 2016) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Cloning emacs25-git git repo...

@totsilence. I'll point you to the second entry in <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Git#Commit_tips> Do read the whole wiki page if you must.

I can't clone the http:// git repository when trying to build this package. Reverting your last patch lets me clone the repository without problems and the build of the package succeeds...

Savannah has been in trouble for the last weeks and the git:// service is gone, who knows for how long. I have switched to use the http interface. I know it is an inconvenience, but a simple edition of the git repo config file fixes it. No need to redownload everything.
