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
