kdesvn-build release 1.3

Released: 2006-Oct-10

Download it: kdesvn-build-1.3.tar.bz2 (45KB)

Most of the work in the 1.3 release came from my fellow KDE developers, who took care of kdesvn-build while I was away getting trained up. So I'd like to say thanks to them.

kdesvn-build 1.3 had the following changes from the prior release (1.2):

Bugfixes

• When using the --run command line option, all command line parameters are passed to the given command.
• Qt's /lib directory is added to the pkg-config search path by default now, for Qt-DBus
• kdesvn-build no longer incorrectly whines about module checkout locations different than expected. (If you still get this warning, it should actually be true now. ;)
• kdepimlibs is built by default in KDE 4 mode. If you're using a ~/.kdesvn-buildrc file, you need to add it manually however.
• qt-copy default options are set correctly.
• make-options are now used when installing the module as well, with the exception that the -j option (for parallel building) is stripped out.
• make install is no longer run for qt-copy if qt-copy is already in position.
• Lots of minor output and bug fixes.

Feature Additions

• The kde4-snapshot branch name is no longer recognized, as all KDE 4 development is against the /trunk version of kdelibs now.
• Many, many improvements to the parts of kdesvn-build used by the Coverity scanner. Much of the code has been extracted into a separate helper script to avoid clutter as well.
• kdesvn-build will automatically perform any necessary svn switch routines for you (if you use the --svn-only switch). This is handy if you've changed the branch or download location for a module you've already checked out.
• Added progress output support for CMake 2.4.3. Now there is progress output with both KDE 3 and KDE 4 builds.
