How should one get them as "compile-clean" as possible? At the moment randomsample.de seems to be down, but I recall that the code is automatically built against 24.1, 24.2, HEAD, and a couple of XEmacs flavors. I also recall having a hard time finding git branches that corresponded exactly to the buildbot versions. I'm also so far totally unable to build XEmacs at all, but that's a separate problem. So, under the "Supplemental information for Emacs Developers" heading, I propose another heading that goes something like this: ** Backwards Compatibility New Emacs code should be compatible with the following older versions: - [LIST OLDER VERSIONS HERE] Git branches tracking the above Emacs versions are in the official Git repository, with branch names that look like "back_compat/*" [NOT TRUE, I'M MAKING THIS UP, BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. WHERE DO THE BUILDBOT'S TEST VERSIONS COME FROM, ANYWAY?]. XEmacs can be obtained from http://www.xemacs.org/. For larger patches, please take the time to apply your patch to these different versions, and ensure that Emacs builds without error. Note that the Emacs codebase is automatically built every X DAYS, against each of the above-mentioned versions. Should any patch you contribute cause an error in one of these version builds, you'll receive an automatic notification email from the buildbot. Anyway, I think something like that would be helpful.

I'm certainly not saying this *should* be the convention, I thought it already *was*, based on the automatic builds. If that's not the case, then there's no need to do anything, and this bug should be closed.
