It might also be helpful to make note of the fact that some Linux
distributions offer packages of newer versions of Org than the
Emacs-included versions. For instance, on Debian testing, 7.01g is
available to me in a package (and 7.01h if I install from unstable). I
assume this probably trickles down to Ubuntu as well. This is the
route I take because it keeps me relatively close to Org-mode
developments without having to take the time to manage source code.
