Hi! I have been trying to get set up for some development on Kaidan since it doesn’t get a ton of love. Any time I try to generate config for Qt Creator or build it with kde-builder
, I get stuck in a weird state where it tries to download metadata for a module I’m not using. Particularly, it’s trying to download custom-qt6-libs
but that module has no repo, and is preventing me from compiling at all.
$ kde-builder kaidan --no-include-dependencies
Fetching remote changes to sysadmin-repo-metadata
Merging sysadmin-repo-metadata changes from branch master
There was no repository selected for the custom-qt6-libs module-set declared at
~/.local/state/sysadmin-repo-metadata/build-configs/custom-qt6-libs.yaml
A repository is needed to determine where to download the source code from.
Most will want to use the kde-projects repository. See also

Config Error: Missing repository option
Even specifying to NOT use this module both in the config
ignore-projects:
- custom-qt6-libs
- kde6
And in the command
kde-builder --no-src --include-dependencies --ignore-projects={custom-qt6-libs} kaidan
I still am hit with this same error. Even after clearing the caches and rebuilding, or even annihilating everything and cleanly redownloading the repo. I’m probably just missing something since there seems to be literally no one else with this problem anywhere, so if I could get some help, that’d be great!
