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.
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.
