Description Jaime Torres 2017-12-02 10:25:56 UTC

In my case, when I start setting a new development environment, I always forget to install some development dependencies, and therefore quite a lot of modules fail to configure/build/install.
With a new option, kdesrc-build will only retry the modules that failed, making the process a little bit faster.

Comment 1 Michael Pyne 2017-12-02 19:20:38 UTC

This is already implemented, see the --rebuild-failures command as documented in the kdesrc-build man page and Docbook manual, added a couple of years ago with commit 51c3a7ec5.  I ran into the same issue you described often enough that I had finally added this for myself...

On the other hand, if this command isn't working then please reopen as a bug. ;)
