Looks like everything builds that I try to build. That is good news! Yet there remain some
build issues.
I can't build libcarddav. For me that is a luxury package. I won't cry if the
package is not installed. Yet I presume a handful of people will want to use the package.
libcaldav builds fine here.
Do I presume correctly that libcaldav provides some additional functionality although
libcarddav is not installed?
I can't build tqtinterface directly within the SVN directory. I have to copy the
tqtinterface tree to a temporary location and build clean from there, much like building
from a tarball. I can build tqtinterface within the SVN directory only once. Thereafter
the build always fails. I can build all other packages directly within the SVN
directories.
Is this a bug with tqtinterface?
I seem unable to build any package after I run 'make clean' within each package
SVN directory. Perhaps this is a conceptual error on my part in the way I use the command
in my build scripts. Yet seems that occasionally I should clean house before attempting a
full build run.
What is the correct way to clean house in SVN?
I configured my build scripts to ccache. Yet I see no difference in build times. There are
files in the cache, the log updates, the log and stats show there are cache hits. Yet the
process took 8 hours overnight to build all core, support, and several non-core packages.
I don't know whether 8 hours is the best I can do or whether I have something
configured incorrectly.
Anybody have theories why I see so little difference?
I need to test building from source tarballs rather than svn.
Although not yet official, can we get a web link for developer testing of 3.5.12 source
tarballs?
I still have about a half dozen non-core applications that need build scripts and testing.
I use those packages regularly and at least those non-core packages need my attention if I
am to fully embrace Trinity.
I have yet to test building the core packages with external support packages installed
such as krb5, avahi, lua, OpenEXR, GraphicsMagick, and PostgreSQL.
Although I now presume a hard freeze except for fatal bugs, several non-fatal bugs and
usability issues slipped through untouched in our recent discussions. I will sift through
the discussions and submit formal bug reports and feature requests in the bugzilla.
