The problem with updating love is that upstream explicitly does not keep any sort of compatibility between major versions (0.8, 0.9, 0.10). Anyone playing games compatible with love-0.8.0 will generally be unable to play them with 0.10.1. Probably the best thing going forward would be to import a separate love port for each version (love8, love9, love10) that allows them to be installed at the same time. This is easy for the old versions that are just a single executable, and maybe --program-suffix would do that for the versions that install extra stuff with autoconf. -- Anthony J. Bentley
