34 There is a new pretest available in
36 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$NEW.tar.gz>
37 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$NEW.tar.gz>
39 Please report results from compiling and running the pretest to
40 <emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org>. Your feedback is necessary for us
41 to know on which platforms the pretest has been tried.
42 Please say whether you built with LEIM or not.
44 If you have the tars from the previous pretest, and you have the
45 \`xdelta' utility, you can instead download the much smaller
47 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
48 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
50 You can use a command like
52 $ xdelta patch XDELTA PREVIOUS-TAR CURRENT-TAR
54 to generate the new tar from the old one, where XDELTA is the xdelta
55 file you downloaded, PREVIOUS-TAR is the tar file from the previous
56 pretest, and CURRENT-TAR is the name of the tar file you downloaded.
58 Information about xdelta can be found on the GNU ftp site, in
59 /non-gnu/xdelta.README.
