OK, how can I verify that I'm running HEAD?
I did the following

What branch is your checkout?

I've been maintaining a relatively current 1.8 branch via a cron'd script, which (among other things) performs:
cvs update -C -r gnucash-1-8-branch




$ cd gnucash-head
$ cvs update -r HEAD -Pd


You don't need -r HEAD -- the HEAD branch is assumed -- assuming you
started with HEAD.  If you checked out a branch then this might not do
what you think/want.  You might be better off checking out a clean tree
from head:


I started with branch, though. It downloaded a bunch of stuff, much more than I'd expect from a simple 'cvs update -Pd', especially since my script updated Sunday early AM and I tried to update to head Sunday evening, but I didn't log the output...


cvs -d ... -q checkout -d gnucash-head gnucash


$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnucash-head
$ make >make.log 2>&1 &
$ sudo checkinstall -R
and $ /opt/gnucash-head/bin/gnucash &


But the splash screen tells me it's gnucash 1.8.4, same as when I start the 1.8 branch.

Did I do something wrong?


Is 1.8 also installed in /opt/gnucash-1.8?  Or is 1.8 installed in
/usr or /usr/local?  You might have wanted to run a "make clean"
before "make", in case you already had stuff in your tree.


I have 1.8 installed in /opt/gnucash-CVS. Plan to put head in /opt/gnucash-head.



Thanks, Tim

I'll do a clean checkout of head. I plan to run 1.8 branch for real, and just use head to play/test.


Thanks,
Tim
