emacs 25 and ubuntu 16.10



Dear all,

just a warning for anyone using emacs25 and ubuntu. the latest ubuntu version 16.10 seems to introduce a bug which prevents building of emacs 25 or latest emacs dev from sources. As ubuntu doesn't yet come with emacs 25, this means that if you upgrade to ubuntu 16.10, you won't be able to build emacs 25 and will have to settle for the ubuntu emacs24 version. 

As Raman is usually vary quick and up-to-date with respect to emacspeak and the latest emacs version, the risk is there may be some functionality introduced in emacs25 you have become accustomed to which is not available or does not work as well in emacs 24. Therefore, if your a ubuntu user and are using emacs 25, I would delay upgrading to 16.10 until this issue has been resolved.
