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.

Yes. libcaldav is for online calendar support, such as Google Calendar. libcarddav is for online address book support, such as Zimbra Contacts.

I have never had that experience myself; it could be a Slackware-specific glitch.

Personally, I would remove the entire directory, then check it out again from SVN. Barring that, you may be able to run "make distclean" and have it work well enough to get by.
What I do on my systems is have a clean SVN tree that is continually updated, then when I want to build a package I use rsync to copy the appropriate SVN sources to a temporary directory where the build takes place.

I'll be looking for them.
