For now we have two extremes:
 1. SVN checkout : everything
 2. oscar-base (+oscar-srpms, optional) : (almost) maximally stripped, such
    that users get only what they need.

That was my target: to get something stripped such that users need to download
only what they use.

You want to use 2. for development while actually 1. is intended for that. If
you want to get something in between the two, I'm open to that. We could have
some oscar-devel, but I currently don't think it is particularly useful.

Adding the Makefiles back is easy, but adding the whole rest back (like the
distro data) is nonsense, then you can also work with the SVN checkout. With
the Makefiles you can currently do three things: build docs, build the perl-Qt
stuff, build the tarballs. I wouldn't exactly call this development, and doing
these steps from the SVN checkout is no harm.

Regards,
Erich
