  58 There is a new pretest available in
  59
  60   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$NEW.tar.gz>
  61
  62 Please report results from compiling and running the pretest to
  63 <emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org>.  Your feedback is necessary for us
  64 to know on which platforms the pretest has been tried.
  65
  66 If you have the tars from the previous pretest, and you have the
  67 \`xdelta' utility, you can instead download the much smaller
  68
  69   <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
  70
  71 You can use a command like
  72
  73   $ xdelta patch XDELTA PREVIOUS-TAR CURRENT-TAR
  74
  75 to generate the new tar from the old one, where XDELTA is the xdelta
  76 file you downloaded, PREVIOUS-TAR is the tar file from the previous
  77 pretest, and CURRENT-TAR is the name of the tar file you downloaded.
  78
  79 Information about xdelta can be found on the GNU ftp site, in
  80 /non-gnu/xdelta.README.
