== DESCRIPTION:

This project is inspired by kdesvn-build[http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/].

It help in building and maintaining a development environment. It downloads
and configures sources and updates them later.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

The tool uses recipes to build software from scratch. It does
    - Check out the sources from the repository (git, git-svn, svn).
    - Update the sources.
    - Set the build environment.
    - Configure (qt, cmake, custom)
    - Build
    - Install

It's main purpose is supporting me in developing kde while having a complete
kde workspace from trunk. I would like to have reliable and reproducable
builds so i'm sure the code is the problem and not my environment if something
fails to build.

Additional features are:
    - Open a shell with the environment used to build the sources.
    - Provide sample xessions and kde.desktop files to use the result.

Currently the following recipes are provided:
    - Qt 4.6 (either from the kde-qt or qtsoftware repositories.
    - KDE 4.3
    - KDE Trunk

== SYNOPSIS:

  # Install a recipe
  > build-tool recipe install kde
  ...
  # Adapt the configuration
  > vim ~/.build-tool/kde.yaml

  # Build kdesupport/ modules and the base kde workspace
  kde-build build kdesupport/ KDE/
