Unfortunately, I don't think this helps in this instance. When building RPM's, I don't think there is an easy way to do multiple *builds* from a single source (which is the solution methodology you are proposing). What you can do (and is often done) is split a single build into multiple RPM's at the file level. Therefore I'm not sure KDE needs to change anything. > Actually of course it would be even nicer if you could just check out > kdeutils/kcalc/ and just build that, but that requires more (although > basically boilerplate) work from the developers. This would be the alternative to the above, but as you say, more work for developers. Plus it means you must split *every* subdir into its own RPM, which probably isn't ideal. -- Matthew Please do not quote my e-mail address unobfuscated in message bodies. -- You're on your own for the pony. -- Richard Hughes, on feature requests _______________________________________________ Kde-buildsystem mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-buildsystem
