Agreed

I have a recent version of perl, not 100% sure what perl dependencies
I think I need. One thing to note of interest is that I am trying to
invoke ./kdesrc-build knotifications and with my config it attempts to
build 7 "major" components. Regarding the source cloning issue the
only one reporting the source fetching or submodule issue is qt5.
Every other module doesn't have a source fetching issue. I was trying
the --verbose flag, but just discovered the --debug flag. Then I've
blown away the build and source directories and trying again.


Well i guess you have perl since kdesrc-build is in perl, anyhow
you'll have to figure out what's going on wrong with that command

Cheers,
