Compiz Fusion - Easy Install Method


CF Installer-Updater will automatically install and update Compiz Fusion to its very latest version (from its gitweb). I created this because I couldn't find a fast (and good) way of doing this. Compiz Fusion 's files are sometimes changed even every hour so there is not possible to have the latest available files without compiling by yourself (.deb packages and repositories are always not up-to-date with the latest Compiz Fusion version (which between always fixes some problems and adds functionalities, so it is good to have the latest one) and this is normal because creating a new package every few hours that a new Compiz Fusion revision comes out would not be possible). With this tool you will have the freedom to choose when to update Compiz Fusion (the more frequently the better).

Note: It has been reported (and from personal experience too) that by following this way (either using my script or compiling by yourself) Compiz Fusion responses much better and it is way faster, comparing with installing it through repositories/.deb packages.
