Re: Can not tweak objects in Debian's Version 2.5.0

[Lib Lists]

I can test in a few hours, but I'm not sure how to update from source.
Should I simply repeat the steps here: http://www.denemo.org/hacking-sources/

1. git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/denemo.git
2. follow the build instructions?

Thanks,
Lib
