Thanks Thomas.
I am trying to read between the lines. So if I miss something, please
let me know.
Here is what I did:
git clone --single-branch --branch master
git://anongit.kde.org/kmymoney.git kmy/master git clone --single-
branch --branch 5.0 git://anongit.kde.org/kmymoney.git kmy/stable
Is that what you meant by master and stable? Why do you all see 5.0 as
stable? Is that the base release that all current security and other
patches are going towards for the current release, and Master is the
new source for the next release? (so you apply the patches to both)
Regarding Step C... So then, we have to do a(n) (re)installation to
make sure all the plugins get pulled correctly.. otherwise, I won't see
the changes. This makes sense, although.. I am wondering, are the
Reports modules considered a plugin or part of the core of KMyMoney?
Also, do you happen to know if Kdevelop runs a re-install behind the
scenes when I hit the Debug button?
thanks again. I know you have mentioned some of this in the past and
some of it is just now sinking in. I promise once I get going, I will
try to help you all instead of just slowing you guys down. I just
finally have some down time from my regular work that I can focus on
this.
