It will be nice if we have a small program that will setup everything for you. I now there is a tutorial but that not enough. I need a program go with me step by step install all required packages and till I get KDE trunk working. By this, kde will lower entering barrier of testers and new developers.

I fail two times in getting kde from trunk. Once you setup you environment, getting kde for trunk will be very easy.

Using kdesvn-build is quite easy to do, and is already part of KDE SDK.
Due to the number of options, it can't just set everything up for you, but it was pretty easy to configure when I set it up.

Idea marked as implemented.

Besides, required packages are usually installed with the package manager, which differ from distro to distro.

It is not implemented ! kdesvn-build does half the job and leaving the hard part.

Did you hear about packagekit-qt ?

Nope, but now I know a little bit about it. Sounds pretty cool.

Anyway, I agree that this isn't implemented, so I'll reopen this idea.

I'm not really all that up-to-scratch with how KDE-SDK is. I don't use it. I've just got a bunch of BASH scripts that I run to update KDE from SVN, then re-compile it. Very easy to write...
