gentoo installs emacs packages like any other package.  When you
update your package with gentoo, it updates emacs packages too.



Last week end, I typed: 

     emerge --sync && emerge --update portage && emerge --update world

which is the standard incantation to make a full update of your gentoo
system, and it installed emacs-23 and updated all the emacs packages.


Are you sure debian or any other linux distribution doesn't do the same?
