KDevelop 4.1.0 introduced the "Fetch Project" feature which includes, among other plugins, one for downloading KDE Projects which fetches them from the SVN repositories, as shown in the kdeproviderwidget.cpp file in KDevelop sources. If you try to use that when KDevPlatform is not built with subversion use flag, KDevelop crashes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge KDevelop 2. Click on Project -> Fetch Project 3. Select KDE as the provider 4. Click the Get button Actual Results: KDevelop crashes Expected Results: Well... I'd like it not to crash :)
Yes, it's known, I think I've already spoke about this bug with developers some time ago and it's bugreportworthy, although reporting it upstream would be the best bet. @KDE is anyone bored enough to do it, please? :)
Of course we can USEdep on kdevplatform[subversion] but that's not correct approach imho.
Could we bump an -r1 with the USEdep out so that we can attempt to stabilize 4.1.1? Otherwise it sounds like 4.1.x won't go stable until they fix this upstream.
Dependency and a comment in the ebuild added since noone seems to be willing to take the "correct approach".
