To celebrate KDE’s migration from CVS to Subversion, I have ported kdecvs-build to kdesvn-build. The biggest change is, of course, the fact that it pulls source using svn instead of cvs. However, there were a few other changes to boot.
- Colorized output (it can be turned off, and it’s still rather sporadic)
- It should be able to build a sane basic system without a configuration file.
- It supports the new layout of the /playground and /extragear directories. If you use those directories you should add kde-comon as well, I forgot to make that happen automatically.
It could use more testing, so feel free to have at it! Note: it’s probably still quicker to start download the source first from the tarballs at http://ktown.kde.org/~coolo/svn/, just make sure you remember to run svn switch –relocate if you use this method.
