Dear TDE devs,
I would like to try my luck (and skills!) with fixing some of the bugs I've been experiencing with TDE. I need help with making my first steps though.
Hi Janek, since you use Debian, you can use my scripts to build TDE, they should make life pretty easy when you have setup everything. Currently the scripts are prepared with the idea that you build everything locally. This is ok for a core dev who works on all the TDE code, but if you want to build individual packages it is a bit overkill because it forces you to build all the required dependencies before you can build a module, if you want builds in clean environment. If you want a local build, the scripts are fine, but occasionally local builds may fail due to changes that you are testing.
There is one thing I have been wanting to add to those scripts for a while, that is the ability to build a single module in a clean environment while using the dependency from the PSB/PTB repos. This would be ideal for people who wants to work on an individual package in a clean environment. I will try to have that ready this weekend and let you know when they are ready. I will also push some recent updates that I have made locally.
Cheers Michele
