    Hey there,

    I want to install a program from source. For example, I have downloaded the
    latest CVS snapshot of xmms to put my own patches onto. I know how to
    compile and install.

    Is it ok to compile and install, and then, if another version is released
    under apt that I want to install, just install it over the top, like
    upgrading any other package. Is there something specific I should do?

    Rhys
