Since 0.12 I have been updating the tree. So not recompiling each new version. I just diff-ed over the Makefiles to see what changed. Than I edited each Makefile by hand and recompiled. So far I have had little trouble. I did start recompiling 0.16, to get a clean install-tree. I probably have a few libraries of different version installed and so on. Also menu-editing didn't work for me anymore, after the recompile with 0.16 this worked again. And this is probably also because the dynamic linker used some older version. But since all newer releases are ABI/API-compatible, there have been no stability problems. Here my one-liner for the diff: for dir in `ls garnome-0.12.1/gnome/`;do diff -u garnome-0.12.1/gnome/$dir/Makefile garnome-0.16.0/gnome/$dir/Makefile >> garnome-new.diff;done Have fun, -A.
