Probably some sloppiness on my part, but I recently (in the past several days) upgraded Scribus via CVS on a couple of the computers I have it on. I normally don't do a 'make uninstall', just upgrade the cvs directory, 'make -f Makefile.dist', yadayadayada...
On the first system (all running FC2), everything seemed to go OK, although I have to say the compile time was unexpectedly short. After firing up Scribus I noted the version said somewhere back in mid-August(!). On the second system, I decided to do a 'make clean' on the Scribus directory before cvs update. When I ran 'cvs -z3 co Scribus' I got a LOT of messages about "need to move xxx out of the way"(?) After compiling and installing, once again the version didn't change according to Help > About Scribus. So today, on a third system, I renamed the old Scribus directory and in essence started from scratch. This time it worked, and now I show a Build ID of 14.October... Should I be doing a 'make uninstall' before each CVS update? Starting from scratch seems to have been unnecessary in the past. Greg Pittman Addendum: I would suggest making a link from the CVS changelog page to the FAQ on Compiling from CVS. I had forgotten the directory change for cvsroot and it took a while for me to find it. Perhaps there could also be some links back-and-forth from the Scribus docs pages.
