Re: KDE debs building

Hi,

/me has to agree.
I talked with Dirk Müller already and some other guys that I use to work with
at KDE and we should provide that possibility through KDE on ftp.kde.org.
Wether that will work out just depends on how many people would volunteer to
participate.
I'd like to help. I build most of the debs on regular basis (each
weekend) but unfortunately i'm seriously limited bandwidth-wise. I can
provide patches to compile my favorite parts of kde on woody, though.
Another thing is that qt-copy packaging in cvs is abandoned. I have
working Qt 3.1 beta 1 mt packages, and i'll probably extend packaging to
build non-mt versions, too. If someone could apply to cvs, i'd be glad :).
If you're interested, let's come together to finally end this messy system
where there's certain problems with building debs for us and the KDE users
using debian, it would surely make things a *lot* easier if we organize
ourselves and coordinate doing things efficiently.
I'm definitely interested, but need someone to push my patches to cvs
and to build debs for download. I can't work in kde cvs (i use cvsup due
to internet connection issues) and have no write access anyway.
If you are interested, i have mostly-working set of scripts to make
building kde debs easier. This mostly consists of:
./build <package>
<something breaks, fix it>
./build2 <package> (will continue where build stopped)
<ah, it completed this time>
(cd .. && ./apt-archive)
./mkdiff <package> (will create patch from your changes)
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
(or apt-get install if you compile for first time)
It needs quite a lot of space on harddrive and isn't particularly smart,
but it works for me (tm). mkdiff doesn't work with qt-copy right now,
but i'll fix that asap.
Thanks for your attention and for volunteering :-)
Thanks for nice initiative.
