manually updating packages
I'm preparing to upgrade to KDE 3.4 by going down the list of the updates that are required for the install (ie: arts 1.4.0, etc.). I'd like to remove the old arts and install the new one but I'm not quite sure how to do this since the new packages are in *.tar.gz format.
So far, I compiled and installed arts 1.4.0. I then realized that the old arts was still present on my system. So I did removepkg on the old arts and it successfully uninstalled it. I then did a new "make install" of the new arts.
Is that the correct way to do this?
If I wanted to remove a package that I built from source, say the arts 1.4.0, how would I go about doing that?
Thanks!
