Version: CVS (using Devel) OS: Linux The instructions in README.kde-qt are misleading and insufficient for troubleshooting. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run make in qt-copy. 2.

Examine kdesvn/log/latest/qt-copy/configure.log 8. Modify README.kde-qt with the expected result of step 4. 9. Follow the instructions to push the patch, including "git push". 10. Get a Gitorious account and upload the SSH key. 11. Repeat "git push". Actual Results: 2. You cannot make a shadow build from a source tree containing a previous build. Cannot proceed. 4. rm .qmake.cache 7. You cannot make a shadow build from a source tree containing a previous build. Cannot proceed. 9. Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly 11. == Gitorious: =========================================================== You do not have write access to this repository ======================================================================== Expected Results: 4. rm .qmake.cache src/corelib/global/qconfig.h src/corelib/global/qconfig.cpp 9. The instructions should include getting a Gitorious account and uploading the SSH key. 11.
