I hope this isn't off-topic, but it is prompted by this thread.

I have been running from source exclusively for several years without any problems, but have always been confused by the relationship between the installed version of calibre and the source.

I know that I am starting calibre using the exe's from the installed version, but these are tiny programs and probably just stubs, but does my 'run from source' need anything else from the installed version.

In particular what I usually do when a new version is released is

1) Exit Calibre
2) Download a new version
3) Refresh the source
4) Install the new version
5) Start Calibre.

In particular, I never install a new version without refreshing the source and I think I have only once refreshed the source without installing a new version.

Am I being over-cautious?
