I must have been evil in a previous existence, because I'm not trying to use jhalfs to build kde.
In kf5 I stopped the build after a bit over an hour because nothing was happening.

And I now see that they got downloaded by jhalfs to my work directory rather than to /sources. But I'm ******ed if I can persuade it to do anything with the tarballs. I think I'll need to review whether trying to see if the book's instructions work (to catch regressions caused by apparently unrelated updates) is going to do anything useful for me, because at the moment it just looks like a vale of tears. ĸen -- To say that it (his hair) was black and bound up in a ponytail is to miss the opportunity of using the term 'elephantine'.
