Mads,

what is the best way to use a non released kallithea version?
Currently I have Kallithea 0.3 which I installed via pip. Can I simply
take the site-packages/kallithea directory that pip installed and
replace it with the kallithea source code repo? Can I then simply
update the repo to the head of default? Won't there be any problems
with any of the dependencies?

Cheers,

Angel
