[ Picking this up again ] I've been spending the last couple of days fixing modules on git.gnome.org (you may have noticed a commit or two from me on your modules fixing builddir != srcdir issues); submitting bugs/patches to modules that are hosted elsewhere; and disabling non-srcdir builds directly in the jhbuild modulesets. I'm fairly confident that all remaining issues are now limited to modules that are in gnome-apps or gnome-world, but I haven't tested things like all the C++ language bindings modules.
If you maintain a module listed in jhbuild, *please* update your jhbuild local repository and try build your module with the new buildroot setting enabled. If your module fails to build, fixing it would also be appreciated — as it would spare you and everybody else time and effort; alternatively, you can poke me on IRC, and I'll either fix it for you, or help you out in fixing it. As a last resource, we can mark modules that do not support non-srcdir builds in the various modulesets, but I'd rather avoid it as it defeats the purpose. Ciao, Emmanuele.
