I remember those two. :)

Well, you are probably right: most of the stuff I found where rather "coding-style-related".

That would be great if it worked, but you see: for the Qt5/KF5-KDE/CI system I was
required to build Qt5 from source! We'd need to figure out whether Qt4 from MacPorts
would be good enough for the CI system.

Well, we'll see then how it works out. I'll try to set up a qt4-mac installation with the
KDE/CI system scripts in place and an adapted configuration then.

Thanks, Ian!

I stumble a lot over git myself, since I am so used to Mercurial since years. ;)
