kdesvn-build release 1.4

kdesvn-build 1.4 had the following changes from the prior release (1.3):

Bugfixes

• kdesupport is built by default now, as it is now required for KDE 4.
• The rm -rf command is no longer used. The rm -rf feature is implemented natively in Perl to improve portability and possibly improve security.
• The documentation has been revised/updated, including the DocBook sources, the man page sources, and the help text.
• Do not check for SSH Agent in pretend mode.
• The Net::HTTP module is not required to run, it is only required to use the snapshot downloading feature.
• The branch and tag option does not apply to qt-copy when set in the global options now.
• When the use-stable-kde option is false assume CMake is being used. This prevents needless updates of kdenonbeta and kde-common for unsermake support.
• Outdated references to kde4-snapshot have been removed.
• kdesvn-build no longer assumes that it knows what SVN repository the snapshots were configured for.
• Do not run a checkout for a module where the snapshot was successfully installed but the follow-on update failed.

Feature Additions

• Added the ability to perform the initial checkout of trunk KDE modules by downloading a snapshot from ftp.kde.org. This is done before checking the kdesvn-build.kde.org site, which is less frequently updated.
• The use-cmake option has been removed. CMake use has not been optional for quite a few months now.
• The default module list and options have been reviewed and updated. kdesvn-build should be ready to build KDE 4 with less tweaking needed.
