Hello! As far as I know, you can uninstall manually compiled software: you just have to do a "sudo make uninstall" from the directory where you compiled it in the first place. Cloning awesome from git periodically and compiling it locally seems a better solution, as you otherwise will have to build a deb package each time you want to include new commits from awesome's git repo. For instructions on installing & building from git, refer to the wiki: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Building_awesome -- Nicolas Gaulard Querol <[email protected]>
