KDE Builder

This tool streamlines the process of setting up and maintaining a development environment for KDE software.

It does this by automating the process of downloading source code from the KDE source code repositories, building that source code, and installing it to your local system.

KDE Builder downloads and used data from special repository repo-metadata.
It contains KDE Projects database, names of branches to checkout for each project, build configs (default cmake options) for projects, and some other data.
