As far as I know, you can uninstall manually compiled software: you just have to do a sudo make uninstall from the directory where you compiled it in the first place. True - this works in many cases, but unfortunately not in all. As far as I know, for this to work, a target uninstall has to be defined in the make file, which, at a glance, does not exist in the awsome make file. Cloning awesome from git periodically and compiling it locally seems a better solution, as you otherwise will have to build a deb package each time you want to include new commits from awesome's git repo.

Modifying the PATH would certainly acommodate that the new version would be used, but what about the lua libraries? What are the seach paths for these? If I modify PATH and start awesome, will it first look for lua libraries in /home/rkrug/inst/awesome/lib ? OK - next problem: lgi: /inst/awesome/share/awesome/lib/gears/surface.lua:13: lgi too old, need at least version 0.7 (not yet released?) or recent git Ubuntu is 0.5.1 Is there an easy way to solve this?

So: But how can I use my new installation? I could specify the path to the new awesome in the xsessions file to start it, but I assume that awesome-client will then be the one installed system wide? If you want to switch between different versions, you could simply place links in the default directory... To use V1, insert links to the V1 directory. To use V2, replace V1 links with V2 links. Script the swapping of the links so you have a quick easy changeover -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
