Hello folks, I wondered what's the best workflow for LXQt. I will tell you what I do and would be happy to hear your approaches, maybe also comparisons.
I tend to have all applications I work on in ~/src. So initially I do: $ https://github.com/lxde/lxqt ~/src/lxqt $ cd ~/src/lxqt $ git submodules init $ git submodules update --remote --rebase Then I remove all the sudo stuff in the build script (since I dont use sudo). And do: $ su # ./build_all.sh Which builds all LXQt libraries and applications. Then I add startlxqt into my .xinitrc and change into LXQt. Now let's say I work on lxqt-runner. I import the CMakeLists.txt from ~/src/lxqt/lxqt-runner into QtCreator. Read the code, do my changes. $ git checkout -d newfeature $ git commit... Normally I then run the build_all.sh script again. To copy my changed version of lxqt-runner into place and test it for a while. When I am done I create a pull request on GitHub. In this scenario I don't use any LXQt packages from my distribution, since it might happen I want to do a change on a lib or something. I am not sure whether this is the best approach. But generally I like it. The only thing I don't like is that I surpas my systems package manager. Looking forward to your opinions. -- Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
