I have scripts for this ( http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-ostree/tree/src/ostbuild/ostbuild-qemu-pull-deploy?id=d99b501bb0fbc5c866f7f7774b1c7710308ddbd1 ) but really the whole ostree/gnome-ostree stack here needs significant levels of work and polish. > Being able to build against a single set of > pre-built binaries should dramatically lower the trouble of getting > started with development on Gnome. The question here is build...what? Applications? Or contribute to the desktop itself? These are quite independent things with potentially quite different tools to use. > Every time I start a new jhbuild build tree, it's a very long and > painful process. And every full-tree update is a big risk. Yeah, and there is still yet more we can do to jhbuild to make things better here; the two biggest things are: 1) improving the sysdeps tooling see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691036 for an example case where it works on OpenSUSE/Fedora, but fails on Debian due to confusion over the package split 2) Maintaining autobuilders; see my other mail _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
