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. True - but creating a deb can be as easy as "checkinstall" instead of " make install" or using a specific build target. > For instructions on installing & building from git, refer to the wiki: > http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Building_awesome Thanks - wasn't aware of those.
