Run "make test" in the source directory. That runs gPodder without
installing or building anything. Be aware that upgrading directly from
0.9.4 to 0.10.1 has not been tested (there is some migration that
happens between the versions leading up to 0.10.1), so you might have to
manually re-create the channels list. Be aware of that before running
gPodder 0.10.1 (making a backup tarball of ~/.config/gpodder/ is a good
idea).
Run "make" in the source directory of additional commands you can use to
test/build/install gPodder on your system.
