So I'm thinking I want to compile 3.0 (getting tired of waiting for
pascal to update his ppa). So I'm lost.... I went to Github and dl the
zip but now what do I do? The instructions say:
Easy way
./build.sh --prefix /opt/darktable --build-type Release
What about the existing darktable installation? Will it be overwritten
or else do I need to do anything? Should I rename a copy of 2.6.3 to
an old directory?
We had this discussion some time ago:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06739.html
so the --prefix means that dt will be installed in a different folder so
that your original dt 2.6.x will remain.
But: To start dt3 you also should do this with the configdir-Option so
that the "new" darktable will have it's own profile.
And: turn .xmp off in preferences.
If you decide to stay with 3.0 or Pascal updates his ppa then you can
delete the 2.6 config and copy the 3.0 to replace it and turn xmp on again.
