RKWard development source repository / development snapshots

Instructions to track the most recent development version in our source repository (git). This is of interest both to people wanting to be on the bleeding edge of RKWard development, and to people wanting to contribute patches.

Alternatives: Daily builds

Sometimes all you want is to test a relatively recent development snapshot, easily.

• For Ubuntu users, a variety of PPAs is available at https://launchpad.net/~rkward-devel, including the following daily build archives: - KF5 version of RKWard
  • KF5 version of RKWard compiled for CRAN R - KF5 version of RKWard compiled for CRAN R and KF5 backports
• For Windows users, daily builds can be found at https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/education/rkward/master/windows/
• Daily builds for MacOS are at: https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/education/rkward/master/macos/

Pre-requisites

In addition to the requirements listed on the Building_RKWard_From_Source page, you will need a git client.

Checking out the current Git sources

For anoynmous (read-only) access, use

$ git clone https://invent.kde.org/education/rkward.git rkward_devel

This will download the development sources to a directory called rkward_devel.

Compiling

Proceed with compilation / installation as usual (see Building RKWard From Source). Make sure the path provided to cmake is correct (for example, depending on where you create the build directory, ’../rkward’ may be appropriate instead of ’..’).

Staying up to date

To update your working copy to the most recent changes, go to that directory, and run

$ git pull --rebase

After this, generally only the

$ make

and

$ sudo make install

steps are needed (less, if you use some advanced tricks).
