My Emacs installation is a mix of standard Debian Emacs and MELPA packages. I
have no idea how to install a specific commit of calc, and I don't even know
where to find the repo. Could you help me out?
* Where do I find the repo? (Once I have that, I know how to check out a
specific commit.)
* What do I have to put into my .emacs to use the calc that's in the
directory?
Ah, you are using Emacs 26.1. The fix has been made in the development version
of Emacs, that is to become version 28.1. Instead of trying to combine pieces
from different versions it is probably better to build the latest version:
git clone -b master git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git
cd emacs
and here you would ideally take a pause reading the build and installation
instructions in the source tree, but most likely you would continue with:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
assuming you have everything needed. You can then run the built emacs without
installing (it's in the src/ directory) if you just want to test it.
Maybe Debian has special provisions for doing this in a cleaner way but I'm no
Debian specialist.
