           Summary: Gideon II: A separate configuration for KDevelp CVS
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: hattons globalsymmetry com


Version:           3.0.90 (using KDE 3.2.2, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-215-default

It can be difficult to always rely on the CVS builds of KDevelop.  I prefer to use the latest CVS when it's functional, and I hope my newly acquired C++ skills will enable me to constribute more directly to the project soon.  Nonetheless, sometimes I need an alternative to the latest CVS.  The way Gideon worked seems like a reasonable model.  That is, having a separate set of configuration files from those used by the KDevelop release.  That way, I can use the latest CVS without impacting the KDevelop SuSE provides for their distribution.  They usually do a better job of integrating things into the reast of the environment than I can do working in user space.

If it's just for my sake, please don't expend the effort. If other's believe the Gideon approach is beneficial, then it might be worthwhile.
