Hello!

Last week I tried out TDE building scripts: for example
99_build_TDE.sh which successfully finished its work in 38 hours.  But
later that week I looked into 0_logs/build_result.log and found there
some "[FAILED]" messages for ten packages ("k3b-i18n", "k9copy",
"kaffeine", "kasablanca", "katapult", "kbarcode", "kbfx", "kbibtex",
"kbiff", "kpilot").  Later I tried to run the same script in "local
mode" ("-l" flag in BUILD_DEFAULT_OPTIONS variable of _config.sh) but
it seems the modules don't see the compilation results of the
previously compiled modules. And I didn't find any way in the scripts
for them to see. So here are some questions about building scripts:

0) Do I understand correctly that "modules" (as this word is used in
command "build_module" for example in 06_applications_03.sh script)
are corresponding 1-to-1 to debian source packages on the one hand and
to git submodules of TDE/tde repository on the other hand?

1) What exactly is the mechanism used while building with "pbuilder"
(i.e. WITHOUT "-l") for the module A to use package B built in one of
the previous modules?

2) Does something similar exist while building everything in "local
mode" (i.e. WITH "-l") on a clean machine? I see there only the *.deb
files, but they don't seem to be installed immediately after creation
and then the next step is about to start already and *.deb files are
just left there not installed.

3) Is there any simple way to disable colored output which is very
nice on the terminal, but quite disturbing while reading logs in a
file?

4) Is there a way to stop let's say 99_build_TDE.sh script if a single
module compilation failed?

5) Sometimes I see the following lines in the log file (using "show
log" -sl option and piping output into a file):
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies:
tdelibs14-trinity-dev [and many more -I.D.]
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)
Building completed SUCCESSFULLY [in green color -I.D.]

Does this combination (package can't be built, but it's kinda success
nevertheless) have any sense or is it some kind of error in the
scripts?

The meaning of all these questions for me is to understand how to
create an environment, where I can rebuild the whole TDE in a reliable
way (run a single command and be sure that its success indicates
nothing went wrong and everything is built) on a clean machine.

Thanks!
