Once the build fails, you can chroot into the buildroot, change options, run configure and make manually in order to not rebuild everything from scratch.
Oh in that case I would need even more steps: first, clone the package on my local machine, then chroot etc.
So you do packaging without having the packages checked out locally and test-building them before checkin? Well, in that case probably there's no good advice anyone could give you that would help. Whenever I do packaging workshops, I always teach people how to verify their build locally before committing it to the buildservice. Anything else is usually (except for a few very special packages) just a recipe to cause yourself a lot of pain.
And what desktop to use then?
A maintained one? There are lots to choose from which are actively maintained to keep building / working with current toolchains / infrastructure.
Which one? exactly?
Choose one from http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights#Latest_Free_Desktops for example. The list is from 11.4 but it applies to FACTORY as well. From the outside, it looks interesting to watch you trying to ride a dead horse, but IMVHO those efforts are in vain and could be spent more useful by improving one of the existing maintained alternatives so that it gets the features you are missing and that were in KDE3. -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
