https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481272 --- Comment #12 from Andrew Shark --- About self-update I have some thoughts, but that may be discussed in another issue. For the note, in case you really would need to use kdesrc-build in suse leap (for testing for example), you can manually remove that "|!" from specifier. I am not doing that for kdesrc-build, because to remove it properly, it needs to be replaced by something, and documentation needs to be changed, and I switched development to kde-builder. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481272 --- Comment #11 from Marco Martin --- I know I should have updated it more often, but it's really a thing one thinks about when it stops working. Should really update itself (though risks of breaking itself mid-running) On one machine I do use such an outdated distro by purpose, to make sure things do actually build and run on distros that even if outdated are still their current release and have users -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481272 --- Comment #10 from Andrew Shark --- I know Marco is a KDE developer. But note, that people were expected to update kdesrc-build, because it had module-definitions included in its repo. If you were keeping the kdesrc-build outdated, that was incorrect usage. Note that now distro-dependencies and module-definitions moved to repo-metadata. So they will be up to date automatically at each kde-builder run. But still, it is assumed you are a recent version of kde-builder and update regularly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Which your reorganizations forced people to do. I would bet that Marco Martin is a KDE developer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

--- Comment #8 from Andrew Shark ---
I have explored what happened.
The OpenSuse Leap 15.5 uses perl 5.26.1.
That perl version uses GetOpt::Long 2.49 specification:
perl -MGetopt::Long -e 'print $Getopt::Long::VERSION, "\n";'
2.49
Here is the doc for this specification:
https://perldoc.perl.org/5.26.1/Getopt::Long
It can be seen that this spec already supports such specification of number of
args:
> It is also possible to specify the minimal and maximal number of arguments an
> option takes. foo=s{2,4} indicates an option that takes at least two and at
> most 4 arguments. foo=s{1,} indicates one or more values; foo:s{,} indicates
> zero or more option values.
The issue appeared after introducing the short version of option as exclamation
mark in this commit:
https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build/-/commit/5b155c5e29dd2d377fd1f84fb42d0e629a9f368b#9cca8ad07f12b7b754bac5e08c4e360e4c8ab1a3_448_460
This was half of year ago, and nobody complained. Because newer versions of
perl allow exclamation mark. This proves nobody uses outdated distros like
OpenSuse Leap for development.
