[Hydrogen-devel] Testing latest version without breaking my 'production' setup

[Thijs v. s. <thi...@gm...>]

Hi all

I haven't had  a lot of time to test h2 lately but I would like to see if I
can move to the most recent branch on the laptop i use for my live
performances.

The thing is that i just cant afford to break the setup on this laptop
since i need it every other weekend or so.
On the other hand i cant fully test h2 if i only run it on my other laptop
(other OS version, other apps, other config ...)

So my question is : what would be the easiest and most reliable way to
switch between versions without messing up my live setup?

I guess I would need to move my config file, song file, drumkits (anything
else?) back and forth each time I switch. But that sounds like an even
better way to mess things up ;-)
Some time ago there was a discussion about making paths configurable, but
even that might not be the best solution.

Note that it would be ok for me if I could just take a 'snapshot' of my
current setup and duplicate it somewhere on the laptop and use that to
experiment on with the latest h2.

Any ideas?

Grtz
