I've reviewed the patch and it's good, you've addressed the issues that were noted by Aleix already, so please commit and we can address anything that might pop up as it happens.

The change looks good and builds in various combinations of CMake options (after I installed the changeset from D23789). I encountered that excluding deprecated components from the build requires a version of x.y.z. (not just x.y) but other than that things were straightforward from a developer's perspective.

I'd be supportive of a change to help better support Gitlab CI; I've already been slowly working to split kdesrc-build into a more backend / frontend model already so it would be a good time for it.

This is a definite improvement. But I think your wider point is correct, we should move this to the Wiki and disestablish the separate website. I'll just add it to the ol' TODO list I suppose...

Another great idea.

Great idea!

I had kde git account on the other hand i didnt made any commits since about 2 years, maybe because of that or maybe there is another type of write access needed by kdesrc-build repo ,
i couldnt able to push my changes.

remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
To git.kde.org:kdesrc-build.git

! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined)

error: failed to push some refs to 'git@git.kde.org:kdesrc-build.git'

Could you tell me if i am doing something wrong ?

Great idea, thanks!

I was under the impression that LD_LIBRARY_PATH shouldn't be required if the paths to Qt are setup properly, but as long as you've tested that it's necessary I've no objection.

The patch works in my testing and looks reasonable. Are you able to commit or should I?

I have committed the doc fix (and maintained your authorship). I expect that we will be able to automatically migrate git modules to the new location if it is decided to use Gitlab for all KDE git repositories, but in the meantime it does require manually running some git commands.
