Package Management and Source Questions

[corevette]

Lets say I install Azureus from Ubuntu's repositories. Later I decide I want the latest version of Azureus and install it from the source. Will the package manager know that I installed a new version over the previous? Should I uninstall Azureus from the repositories before I install it from source?

And also, how do you build Azureus from source? (i downloaded it and it doesn't have a makefile or anything)

You are better of uninstalling any old versions installed by the package manager before installing from source. You package manager will not know about anything compiled from source.

Okay, so that answers my repository question.
How about compiling Azureus?

Azureus is written in Java, there should be an executable in that folder, possibly ending on .jar.
If you have Java installed then a double-click should fire it up.
But I would recommend using Deluge instead of Azureus, or at least take a look at Deluge and then decide for yourself.
