Re: KDE: Speed issues
Hanno,
That is pretty interesting post. I have never even looking into building my
own kde. I think tho, that it could be a pretty kewl option for debianers.
Have a really nice readme that really tells what all the options do and how
to do it the 'debian way' .. Really sounds quite interesting.
In fact, how about something like a script the 'autobuild' kde per platfrom?
One would download the source and run the script and bingo, a brand new
locally built for your particular box product! I'll put it on my 'roundtoit'
list. :)
