Developer version\015\012\015\012If you like you can clone the "Mercurial":http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ repository and install the latest developer version as followed:\015\012\015\012# hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle\015\012# cd subtle\015\012# rake [options]\015\012# rake install\015\012\015\012The installer will copy the files to following "XDG":http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ default path: (see: rake help)\015\012\015\012| *Binaries* | _/usr/bin_ |\015\012| *Config* | _/etc/xdg/subtle_ |\015\012| *Extension* | _&#40;Ruby Dir&#41;/subtle_ |\015\012\015\012The paths can be easily changed (see: "rake":http://rake.rubyforge.org help) and are printed after configuring is done. [[subtle]] will create cache files to keep track of the settings, whenever you need to change a path later you need to delete the old caches with @rake clobber@.\015\012\015\012h2. Debug\015\012\015\012To enable debugging messages and levels, [[subtle]] must be compiled with debugging support. Since there is usually no debugging package available, it needs to be compiled manually:\015\012\015\012# hg clone http://hg.subforge.org/subtle\015\012# cd subtle\015\012# rake debug=yes\015\012# rake install\015\012\015\012[[subtle]] can be run directly from the source directory and there is no need to install it system wide, just add it to e.g. your @~/.xinitrc@.\015\012
