[[!template text="""So let's do that.""" start="00:36:39.120" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Okay, so now if we go into the source directory""" start="00:36:40.940" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and then we hop into the orgdemo2 directory""" start="00:36:44.810" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""we can see that it built.""" start="00:36:58.160" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""the PDF was created.""" start="00:37:18.720" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""We'll look at the RedHat version since we're here.""" start="00:38:22.580" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And the first thing you do is""" start="00:38:27.140" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you have to get access to the source code.""" start="00:38:28.160" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And before you can do anything,""" start="00:38:31.540" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""this is a RedHat-specific section""" start="00:38:32.840" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Now I installed Git earlier, but if you didn't do that,""" start="00:38:41.540" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""that would be the first thing that you need to do.""" start="00:38:44.640" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""We create a source directory, we cd into it,""" start="00:38:46.940" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""we clone the repo from Savannah.""" start="00:38:50.040" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And then we start to take a look at some of the Git tags.""" start="00:38:53.060" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And we showed this before where we check out""" start="00:38:56.060" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""how many different tags there are.""" start="00:38:58.560" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And then we run this kind of funky Git command""" start="00:39:00.370" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to sort of list all the tags that begin with 'emacs-29',""" start="00:39:02.400" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and we sort them by when they were tagged.""" start="00:39:06.040" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So we can see that Emacs 29.1.pretest""" start="00:39:08.760" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""is the most recent version.""" start="00:39:12.400" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So that's the one we grab""" start="00:39:14.440" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and that's the one we decide to build.""" start="00:39:15.880" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""And this is dynamically generated based on what we saw here.""" start="00:39:22.780" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""And then we realize,""" start="00:39:57.420" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""uh-oh, we're gonna have to deal with autotools.""" start="00:39:58.600" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""So we have to install autoconf,""" start="00:40:08.680" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and then we run it again,""" start="00:40:11.350" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""And this is another case where I pull this number""" start="00:40:15.960" video="mainVideo-doc" id="subtitle"]]
