This assumes something that is in general currently not the case; it assumes you can build something like marble without having the cmake files of the module present. Or that you can build kword without doing a checkout of the rest of koffice. If you really know what you are doing, its likely possible. But very impractical and in need of a *lot* of work in svn if you want to make this work consistently for everyone. Anyone claiming this works today using svn is not being completely honest with himself. Oswald; the earliest suggestion from you to have split modules like kdelibs and kdebase and kdeedu split up goes back to well over 2 years ago[1]. While I think its fine that you have an opinion, I think its not so fine if you continue to object to people doing the actual work without actually doing work to move in the direction you want. So, please, show the initiative to either fix the modules in svn or write the scripts that can do the checkout and build the way you suggest. Then we can compare on merit. Or, rather, "Show me the money!" [2]. The proposal for splitting has been on the table for the last 2 years. Please produce a counter proposal if you think you can do better. 1) http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-scm-interest&m=120193241532156&w=2 2) Quote from Jerry Maguire -- Thomas Zander _______________________________________________ Kde-scm-interest mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-scm-interest
