Re: New TeXmacs version 2.1.5

I guess my previous reply wasn't set to the entire list, so let me
again thank Liza for taking care of all this.  The new version of
TeXmacs looks like a much nicer package.

Thanks!
I had actually tried pinning it, but the reference I used must have
had errors.  It works now.

The apt-cache policy texmacs command was returning (until I fixed
the Pin-Priority for the newer version of TeXmacs to 1000):
[Downloads]> apt-cache policy texmacs
texmacs:
   Installed: (none)
   Candidate: 1:2.1.4+ds-3
   Version table:
      1:2.1.4+ds-3 500
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu questing/universe amd64 Packages
      2.1.5.15315-1~questing 500
         500 http://ftp.texmacs.org/TeXmacs/tmftp/repos/apt questing/main amd64 Packages
and apt-get install wanted to install the Ubuntu version.
I guess the "1:" at the beginning of the Ubuntu version number is an
Epoch number (which defaults to 0), where a larger number
automatically means a newer version.  Why the Ubuntu version has an
Epoch number of 1 I have no idea.
