I was looking to use the scripts in the gdb directory to print out the values of Qt objects like QStrings in gdb. I've been troubleshooting ksysguard crashes when it's been shutting down due to segmentation faults which I found were resulting from use-after-free errors as I described in bug 400499 I ran git clone https://anongit.kde.org/kde-dev-scripts.git In gdb, I ran source /programs/kde-dev-scripts/gdb/load-qt5printers.py The values of QString variables were printed correctly after that. That workaround did what I was looking to do. Some of the directories might be added to packages but not others I take it then. Perhaps Rex or the other maintainers could add the kf5 and possibly other directories if they wish. I just found the kde-dev-scripts package yesterday and installed it, so I wasn't sure what was normally in the package or not. Thanks for your explanation which clarified what the various directories and programs contain and how up to date they are for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
