Thanks, I\'ve done that.
We\'ll see how much flaming I receive ;-)
Just between you and me, this whole bitkeeper & oe thing is a real pain in the arse if you don\'t have a Linux machine on the net. I use my nice fast uni connection (WinXP machine) to grab the stuff from bitkeeper, hoping that it will work without any filename conflicts due to the case insensitivity, but then I have to sit at home running over a slow (speed throttled WinModem drivers = 14.4kbps) and expensive dialup to get the really big source for the compile (actually I wonder whether it would even compile correctly having been stored on a Windows disk and possibly loosing its case?). I know it\'s possible to download each source package by hand, and I started doing that for X11, but then some other dependency keeps cropping up and when it takes weeks of toing and froing to get all of the required source tarballs the will power starts to drain away.
Is it possible to just get a list of all of the source packages which I need? Sort of like dry running oe without actually trying to download them; then I can grab them all at uni in one go and actually be able to have a working/useful setup and be able to contribute something?
Sorry for the rant,
Si
P.S. If I do ever get this working, I\'ll quite happily write some documentation for others in the same sort of newbie position.
