Vim support for kdesrc-buildrc files
Debugging KF5 build failures
Those familiar with running development versions of KDE software are familiar with the idea of having to sometimes remove their whole development install directory and start all over
in order to resolve some types of build errors.
Filtering out KDE Projects modules in kdesrc-build
So I implemented support last night for a way to filter out modules from a build from a module-set using the KDE Projects database.

kdesrc-build 1.15
So I’ve released kdesrc-build 1.15 yesterday. There are lots of bugfixes and some minor features since 1.14.1. (I ended up skipping 1.14.2 despite some FIXED-IN: entries that claim otherwise).
