Bug ID: 456205
Summary: Add build / initial-setup support for Linux Mint:
"kdesrc-build does not know your distribution
(linuxmint)"
Product: kdesrc-build
Version: Git
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: setup wizard
Assignee: mp...@kde.org
Reporter: p....@tandlers.de
Target Milestone: ---
I tried to start KDE development and followed the instructions at
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development
but `kdesrc-build` complains that it does not know linuxmint as distribution.
```zsh
❯ ./kdesrc-build --initial-setup
- Installing system packages for linuxmint...
Installing packages for linux/20.3
* Packages could not be installed, because kdesrc-build does not know your
distribution (linuxmint)
```
I did not look at the source yet, but I expect that Mint is kind of similar to
ubuntu, so the ubuntu way should quite likely work.
```zsh
❯ cat /etc/os-release
