Re: [Orgmode] how to upgrade org-mode version?

[Scot Becker]

Kris,

You may have discovered this in the meantime, but I gave you the wrong 
line for adding the org documentation to your info-path in emacs (so 
that M-x org-info gets you to the latest docs).  It's not

 (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/path/to/org/doc")

but:

 (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "/path/to/org/doc")

I don't know how long this has been broken in my own setup, but I just 
noticed it and thought I'd correct my advice to you.  If you actually 
install org mode to a place that the info commands can find (/usr/local 
perhaps) you don't need this.  But I just put the org repository right 
in my ~/.emacs.d/vendor/ directory, compile it in place, and leave it 
there.  As long as I add the right paths to the org-mode/lisp and 
org-mode/doc, everything works.   

If you use stuff from the org contrib directory, you can also do:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/you/newpath/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
