[Ayatana-dev] More JHBuild Goodness for Unity

 

Hi all,

With a bit of help from Sam I got the Unity JHBuild module to cleanly build the entire Compiz stack as well - keeping *everything* installed and running cleanly under ~/unity/install.

This comes in very handy when fx. debugging branches requiring ABI breaks etc (i am looking at you lp:~compiz-team/compiz-core/oneiric.use_server_windows :-D). Just rm -rf ~/unity/{build,install,source}, change the compiz repo in unity.modules, and run a full rebuild. No more hosing your system under /usr or tedious manual envvar/sudo management under /opt.

As usual start by reading http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-jhbuild/trunk/view/head:/README if you want to get your feet wet.

Cheers,
Mikkel
