Just a side note ... I asume that right now I have two installations ...
But there is only one 'xroar' folder
Could I asume that the contents of src/xroar and usr/bin/xroar are the very same?
will call them next time I switch to Ubuntu
I forgot you asked this...
The checkout of the git repo and the build you made within it doesn't tie into the OS package management at all. You basically just have a directory there with another version in it. When you build from source you can "sudo make install" and it'll put a copy in /usr/local/bin (which should be in your PATH), but you don't have to - and I don't believe you have been, so you'll find that just typing "xroar" with on path launches the version in the package.
Hi Ciaran,
right, I have modified the bash files so that they call the xroar installed (v1.11), not the old one (v1.10)
My question is ...
Could I remove the xroar folder? With no negative side effects?
Of course I will save some files I have created and saved into it.
cheers!

Absolutely, it's just a checkout of the git repo - you can always check it out again if you end up needing to test some other work-in-progress code. General bugfixes I tend to push to the repos and you'll get them when you apt update / apt upgrade.
