[Qgis-developer] Best practices to run multiple QGIS versions on same machine

[Etienne Tourigny]

I seem some problems too, particularly rasters don't show properly in
1.8 (no bands are selected), probably because of some settings from
qgis-master.

We might want to change the name of the QGis.conf (say QGis-dev.conf)
in the master version, and revert it before releasing.
