 :::::::: I really appreciate this! I am a total noob when it comes to coding or handling code in any way. And the sed thingy in the plib section bothers me for a long time now. On my local copy of this article I already have applied the changes for the new repo but due to git and cmake it is even more hackish than before. So I was afraid to change it online and preferred to wait and hope for a better solution. Oh, and yes, your assumtion was correct, I am Alex D-HUND AKA flughund AKA debdog.

+::::::::: You're welcome. I'm a bit surprised things get that ugly just because of the switch to Git and CMake; you could maybe post your command sequence here. Also, since Clément's repository only *adds* a CMake setup and the security fixes, you should be able to use the old build method too, just replacing an 'svn co' command with a 'git clone' one (and changing the repository address, of course).
+:::::::::
+::::::::: BTW, if you want to return the repository to its pristine state, there are two useful commands: 'git reset --hard' to restore files tracked by Git to their state in HEAD (this is equivalent to 'git reset --hard HEAD') and variants of 'git clean -df'. (use -n to see what would be done without doing it, and see 'git clean --help' for other options). This avoids having to clone the repo more often than needed...
