What can I delete?
The latest version of audacity (1.3.4beta) doesn't have the tempo feature so I compiled the program and successfully got the tempo feature to work. Next I decided to try checkinstall and created a deb file after renaming the unzipped source folder audacity-src-1.3.4 (deleting the 'beta' tag). It appears to work and was created inside the installation folder.
The deb file (audacity-src-1.3.4-1_i386.deb) is located within the extracted source folder and now the program appears in synaptic as 'audacity-src'. The deb file's size is 1.7MB.
Can I save the deb file to another location and delete the original extracted source folder? Must I keep the dev files I downloaded to originally compile audacity? Would I need to reload all the dev files if I used this deb file to install this version of audacity later?
Since this app is listed as audacity-src in synaptic, can I also install the repository version of audacity (audacity 1.3.4-1.1ubuntu1 ? (I used sudo make install and later sudo checkinstall to install my compiled version).
Thanks.
For those interested in getting the tempo feature to work in linux, I mostly followed the instructions by ArtInvent here:
