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.
41 Please say whether you built with LEIM or not.
43 If you have the tars from the previous pretest, and you have the
44 \`xdelta' utility, you can instead download the much smaller
46 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
47 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>
49 You can use a command like
51 $ xdelta patch XDELTA PREVIOUS-TAR CURRENT-TAR
53 to generate the new tar from the old one, where XDELTA is the xdelta
54 file you downloaded, PREVIOUS-TAR is the tar file from the previous
55 pretest, and CURRENT-TAR is the name of the tar file you downloaded.
57 Information about xdelta can be found on the GNU ftp site, in
58 /non-gnu/xdelta.README.
