alexxcons <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Resolution|--- |WONTFIX Status|NEW |RESOLVED --- Comment #1 from alexxcons <[email protected]> --- Regarding 1: For me both sources dont have the INSTALL file .. I dont know why that is the case. A "diff" shows that there are exactly the same. ( Possibly you had some leftovers in the folder ? ) ... I checked up to 1.6.0 .. there seems to be no INSTALL file at all. I have no idea why that is the case, however it seems to happen on purpose, as well for other xfce packages. Regarding 2: Usually the about dialog picks the correct version. Possibly you confused some old 1.8.54 version with a 1.8.9 ? Best re-try from a clean folder ... actually I dont have much experience with archives .. I usually build stuff from source. > In general what's the best way to keep thunar updated? That very much depends on your needs. - If you want to keep things easy, the package manager of your distro probably is the best way. - If you plan to apply patches, or mess around with the code, git clone/fetch/pull will be your friend - If you just want to give it a spin, but your package manager does not ship it yet, the tar.gz archive may fit you best If you want to try via git, the following should build you thunar 1.8.9: git pull https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar git checkout thunar-1.8.9 ./autogen.sh <Could be required to add missing dependencies> make sudo make install This will install thunar into /usr/local/ ... you can uninstall it via "sudo make uninstall" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
