Description Andreas Koenig 2015-12-16 19:00:03 UTC
It's a documentation bug, the first section of the README in the git repository git://anongit.kde.org/kdesrc-build.git speaks about a directory that does not exist.

There is the sentence:

      Copy the kdesrc-build directory somewhere where you will be able to find
      it. The whole directory has to go together, so don't just copy the script
      itself.

But there is no kdesrc-build directory, there is just a file kdesrc-build:

% ls -l kdesrc-build
-rwxr-xr-x 1 k k 8026 2015-05-22 11:58:56 kdesrc-build*

Looks like the READMe and reality are a bit out of sync.

Reproducible: Always

Reassigning to the right component.
Comment 2 Michael Pyne 2015-12-17 22:57:11 UTC
The "kdesrc-build directory" is where you cloned kdesrc-build.git to. For any future kdesrc-build tarball releases, the "kdesrc-build directory" would be the directory holding the extracted tarball contents.

I will try to make the wording more clear.
