Hi, everyone！
I encountered a questions just now that if I build a new version U++ from sources in linux，how can I keep the old packages and settings？
I think we only need to copy the MyApp directory and .config directory (maybe also .cache directory) to the new root, that 's right?

In Linux TheIDE is searching for a folder called ".config" starting from a folder where an executable is located down to your home directory. This means that you can have multiple ".config" folders (configurations). Inside of this folder it is looking for an "u++" folder.
You need to copy all your configuration files from ~/.upp folder into .config/u++ folder (one of many possible .config/u++ folders).

Hope this helps.

Novo

Thanks Xemuth and Novo！
I use the latest nightly build and in it all configuration files are moved to the self-contained .config directory in the upp folder, which is different from the old mode(I remember that the tutorial says that .bm and .var files are all located at upp root folder). So I think my original answer is right：We just need to move .config and MyApp folders.
