Though a computer _user_ from vacuum tube era, I'm still new to Linux. I run Debian Stretch (Testing) and typically install using Synaptic or apt-get.
I am currently running Tomboy 1.14.1 from the Debian repository and wish to run the latest version from upstream. There is not a .deb package for it. I have downloaded & extracted <https://download.gnome.org/sources/tomboy/1.15/tomboy-1.15.8.tar.xz> to a directory set aside for non-Debian software. What to do after having backed-up my existing notes? I suspect it's only a couple of commands. What I'm looking for is some documentation describing the process. A cookbook solution would be nice but my goal is to know what I'm doing. My motto is "If retirement isn't for education, what use is it?"
