All past built fedora packages are available in koji. So if you go to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=560 you can download the emacs package of your choice. And then install it using dnf -C downgrade emacs[rest of rpm name] You'll have to provide all dependencies of the downgraded package that dnf asks for as well (also from koji). But, looking there, 24.5.1 was available about a year and a half ago in F21 and F22. So there might be api changes in libraries it depends on, which would cause it to fail. On the other hand, it might work just fine. You'd have to try it. A more involved solution would see you building an RPM for F24 from the F22 src.rpm. And blocking further updates to emacs using the -x option to dnf. I'm not sure what org is, but is there no way to bring it into compliance with emacs 25? A lot easier in the long run to stay in synchronization with the OS you are running. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
