Bug ID: 402536
Summary: Consider using a condensed folder structure for src
and build directories
Product: kdesrc-build
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mp...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
kdesrc-build currently uses a deeply nested folder structure inside the src and
build directories. E.g.:
~/kde/src/kde/kdegraphics/gwenview/
~/kde/src/kde/applications/dolphin/
~/kde/src/kde/workspace/plasma-workspace/
~/kde/build/kde/kdegraphics/gwenview/
~/kde/build/kde/applications/dolphin/
~/kde/build/kde/workspace/plasma-workspace/
I'm not sure how helpful this level of specificity really is. It seems like an
example of unnecessarily exposing an implementation detail in the user
interface and also makes it harder to find things. For example, why is Gwenview
in kde/kdegraphics rather than kde/applications? As a user, it's not clear to
me (as a developer, I understand, but the distinction is not important to a
user).
I would like to propose a simpler folder structure that gets rid of the
"kde/<whatever>" intermediate directories:
~/kde/src/gwenview/
~/kde/src/dolphin/
~/kde/src/plasma-workspace/
~/kde/build/gwenview/
~/kde/build/dolphin/
~/kde/build/plasma-workspace/
I think this would make kdesrc-build a bit easier to use.
