Uday - Yes, I see your point, but as with Joe, my main concern is being missed.  I would like it to be packaged because:

   >> I'll have to rerun the script (at minimum) every time there's an emacs update.  

   >> I'm sure to forget and something will break.  Thus, I'd optimally like it installed 

   >> via the emacs package manager, or less preferably, via a homebrew/linuxbrew 

   >> formula (which is how I installed emacs).

And:

   >> I guess I'm pretty surprised that given VM is not included in emacs, there is no 

   >> obvious way to install via the package manager.  (Though I'm not an expert in

Thanks,

You will find a downloads links on the launchpad site. You can get any of
the releases available. I don't think you need a superuser account to run
configure and make. I certainly don't.
