33 There is a new pretest available in
35 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$NEW.tar.gz>
36 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$NEW.tar.gz>
38 Please report results from compiling and running the pretest to
39 <emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org>. Your feedback is necessary for us
40 to know on which platforms the pretest has been tried.
42 If you have the tars from the previous pretest, and you have the
43 \`xdelta' utility, you can instead download the much smaller
45 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
46 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
48 You can use a command like
50 $ xdelta patch XDELTA PREVIOUS-TAR CURRENT-TAR
52 to generate the new tar from the old one, where XDELTA is the xdelta
53 file you downloaded, PREVIOUS-TAR is the tar file from the previous
54 pretest, and CURRENT-TAR is the name of the tar file you downloaded.
56 Information about xdelta can be found on the GNU ftp site, in
57 /non-gnu/xdelta.README.
