Bart's suggestion to build release build regularly

[Valorie Zimmerman]

I saw notice of this new commit this morning in #amarok:

[01:16] <CIA-50> Bart Cerneels master * rv2.3.90-82-geff5427
amarok/src/ (5 files in 3 dirs):
[01:16] <CIA-50> Include updated category in signal.
[01:16] <CIA-50> Also remove one more layoutChanged which can cause crashes.
[01:16] <CIA-50> Bart Cerneels master * rv2.3.90-83-ge0f951c
amarok/src/core-impl/podcasts/sql/ (SqlPodcastProvider.cpp
SqlPodcastProvider.h):
[01:16] <CIA-50> Trigger reset of the treeView less.
[01:16] <CIA-50> Having the podcast trees collapse on each action is
more annoying then having a non-updated icon until moused-over.
[01:16] <CIA-50> Bart Cerneels master * rv2.3.90-81-g8806b96 amarok/.gitignore:
[01:16] <CIA-50> Rename dedicated release build dir.
[01:16] <CIA-50> I recommend everyone build and test with
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release regularly.
[01:16] <CIA-50> There are much reported crashes that only can be
reproduced with a release build.

The way I always build, with the assistance of Myriam's blog, uses
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kde -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull
$HOME/kde/src/amarok

Bart, are you advising that sometimes we use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release
rather than the above? Also? And since I'm usually pulling the latest
from git, would this still work? Or is this dedicated release build
dir different, to be built with a different cmake command line?

Or should I consider that your commit message was only to your fellow
developers, and I should continue my current testing behavior?

All the best,

Valorie
