[Qgis-developer] Downloading & compiling QGIS

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi Matthias
Thanks for the confirmation.
I'm just "feeling around" at the moment - and not worried about the 
download size.

Are the instructions I am following still "current"?
If I find stuff that I feel maybe missing (ie: things don't go according 
to my expectations from the instructions), is there anyone particular I 
should notify?

Cheers for now,
Zoltan (The emigrant one :-)  )
