Wonderful! That was my topmost wish for KDE on Windows for a long time. Thanks for making it happen! Some questions: - Does it cache sources (perhaps at least for "archive" downloads, might be difficult for version controlled sources)? I think one of the most common causes of build breakage (esp. breakage over time) has been upstream moving their downloads around, or even removing some downloads, entirely. - What's the workflow / commit policy? Are the stable branches to be considered "frozen", or to what degree? Is it ok to update extragear applications to new versions, for instance? Is it ok to patch for compilation with a non-default compiler? Is it ok to patch for non-critical stuff? - I suppose the current "stable" branch is "the branch that will become the _next_ version of the SDK (aka Qt5.6.2/KF5.33.0 or whatever). How does this relate to master, then? Or is "stable" just a placeholder label until the branch naming has been decided on? - What - besides voting on the poll - can we do to help? Now, and in the long run? Regards Thomas
