Hello, I would like to do some bug-fixing on the back end of Akregator (storage, feeds). I had hoped to get started without bothering anyone, but now I'm stuck. So I guess I need a mentor, or at least some help. I installed KDE Neon in a VM and followed the docs (https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development) to install the dev environment. Using the headers and libraries in Neon (not building all of Qt and KDE myself), and kdesrc-build, I was able to build Akregator and run it. I started looking at the source code, and trying to create a new auto-test. Then the Akregator source code updated, and my build has been broken ever since (more than a week), and I can't fix it. The build wants "KF5GrantleeTheme" 5.22.40, and I have 5.21.40. Neon has updated several times in the last week or so, but this issue never gets fixed. So, do I need a mentor ? Or should I set up my dev environment differently ? I tried to change kdesrc-buildrc to build all of Qt locally, but that failed. I don't know much about Qt and KF5 and KDE and QML, but for the kind of work I want to do, I shouldn't need to, I hope. Thanks for any help, Bill Dietrich
