In a recent posting to maemo-users Andrew Flegg mentioned his Maemo
Unofficial Debs project (http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/). What is
the status of that?
"Started". :-)
At the moment the code's a bit rough as I've only been hacking on it
for a week or so.
It can, currently:
* Fetch sources from a tarball at a URL or a Debian package.
* Fetch build depedencies (from Debian, building source if necessary)
* Apply any Maemo patches.
* ...(1)
* Build a deb.
* ...(2)
The two key missing steps at the moment are:
1) Fix "debian/control" and some other bits for Maemo Application Manager
compatibility.
2) Automate upload to the Extras Repository.
Other things like building from tarballs are on the TODO as well.
[own simple ports]
It would be great if there was a convenient way to make those available
to the community (i.e. not dependent on people having to add my repo and
many others like it) and, very importantly, some way to have them rebuilt
(preferably automatically, or at least when required).
If I understand correctly, those were exactly the goals of mud-builder.
Spot on. The idea would be:
* You would port them to mud-builder, working out any patches etc.
* Your changes would be included in mud-builder svn.
* The mud-builder "team" (me and anyone else willing to help) would, at
regular intervals rebuild everything and upload them to Extras.
Is there any point in trying to move the packages I have built to
mud-builder?
Probably not yet, unless you want to hack on mud-builder as well.
Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Andrew
