Bug ID: 308714
Severity: normal
Version: unspecified
Priority: NOR
Assignee: kde-windows@kde.org
Summary: Offline compilation of kde for Windows sources is not
possible
Classification: Unclassified
OS: MS Windows
Reporter: crist...@gmail.com
Hardware: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: buildsystem
Product: kde-windows
Currently the sources/archives needed for kde for windows are downloaded in the
following folders:
-download
-git
-svn
Thus one might retry to compile kde using a clean %kderoot% folder, where only
the above folders exist and the etc folder. However, an Internet connection is
still needed, because emerge tries first to connect to the Internet before
checking local file/folder existence. This is true for both the files to
download and the folders to clone with git.
A better approach would be to check for file/folder existence first before
trying to connect to the Internet so that an offline compilation to be
possible.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to emerge a package, e.g. 'emerge okular'
2. Download all required sources, then clean the %kderoot% folder so that only
download, git, svn and etc folders remain
3. Disconnect computer from Internet
4. 'emerge okular'
Actual Results:
Without Internet connection, step 4 fails.
Expected Results:
Step 4 should allow package compilation with no errors.
emerge should have an option to clean %kderoot% folder by keeping the
downloaded files/folders (i.e. download, git, svn) and the configuration folder
(etc).
My test platform:Win8 x86_64 Release Candidate, Visual Studio 2010, using
emerge from master branch. kde for windows was compiled for x86 architecture.
