[Kommander-devel] switching over to svn

Hi,
I've been running the new parser in the kubuntu 7.10 version of kommander 
(from the repositories), and started running into a few bugs (It's an older 
version, and expected).  So I'm ready to switch to svn - almost...

Three quick questions before I switch to the latest kommander from svn...
1) should I remove the existing kubuntu kommander before installing, or will 
they coexist peacefully?

2) there was a note about not compiling quanta on the svn page.  Is it wise to 
only checkout kommander from svn and compile only it and it's plugins, or 
should I checkout the entire kdewebdev?  (I usually rely on deb files and 
repositories to manage my apps, so this svn stuff is new to me.)

3) I didn't see an 'uninstall' script or option.  Will this be a mess to clean 
up when the kubuntu repositories catch up with what's being developed and I 
want to move back to a kubuntu release to get the benefit of automatic  
updates?  I realize kubuntu will NEVER be caught up with development, but 
there may come a time when I want to get off the bleeding edge.

Eric sent some svn compiling instructions, so I should be okay - but it's 
easier to ask before breaking your system, then after.  Kinda like chalking 
up right after a miscue ;-)
Thanks,
