[Digikam-users] FINAL? UPDATE: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B U I L D I N G D I G I K A M F O R D U M M I E S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on Ubuntu

[Philip Johnsson]

I wouldn't use sudo for anything else than installing packages or
installing the build when its finally built without any errors. For
example not using "sudo perl download-repos" and just using "perl
download-repos" (maybe the only example here but it's a general guide
too).

When you have used the download-repos script to populate the
digikam-software-compilation with digikam source code then to update
use the gits perl script to pull new updates. "perl gits pull" will
pull the recent updates from git into all the parts of
digikam-software-compilation directories and just changes and updates
in code without downloading it all again as you do with clone.

That's just my quick thoughts about these instructions.
