emacs lisp files: why not most current eg f90.el

Tags:

Debian User

Emacs 21 was released in October 2001, the various 21.x releases since
then were maintenance releases so the various modes haven't been
updated.

If you want a recent Emacs, use the `emacs-snapshot' package, sarge
packages are available from my repo, see:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsCvsAndDebian

Also, note that:
1. you should *never* change files that are under dpkg's control, or bad
things may happen,
2. replacing the .el file as you suggest would have no effect, Emacs
loads the compiled (.elc) file. But don't replace it!

C-M-n and C-M-p?
