Hi, concerning the instructions to compile and install dt from source, I see one general issue: The famous "make" -> "make install" procedure may be nice and easy for installing programs, but it is a nightmare for your distro's package manager, because he cannot keep track of the files you saved/modified.
For most distributions there is the program "checkinstall", which creates an archive that is suitable for your distribution (.deb, .rpm or slackware) and installs the program through the package manager. https://packages.debian.org/jessie/checkinstall http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&keywords=checkinstall http://software.opensuse.org/package/checkinstall http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=checkinstall Just replace "make install" with "checkinstall" (as root) and it should be fine. It might be worth mentioning in the instructions as it facilitates all future upgrades a lot.
