Hi again, I recently had more time to work on TDE (as you have noticed) and I have rebuild and installed tdebase and tdelibs from git. tdepowersave crashed, so I installed (download from git, rebuild package etc). My question is after tdebase and tdelibs are being compiled from git, should I recompile other packeges ... or all? What are the pros and cons? I do not want to risk too much - if risk is high I would think of building dedicated environment.
What is your experience and way of doing things? Is there a good practice guide?
thanks
When you rebuild tdelibs I suggest you rebuild all subsequent packages, unless you are sure there are no changes in API/ABI. If unsure, rebuild all from scratch ;-)
Usually I do a full rebuild from time to time (once a month or so, when I have time to work on TDE), then just do local builds for single packages while working on bug fixing. When I see too many new commits or something that may potentially require a rebuild, I do that. Doesn't take much and help keeping the system stable.
