Thanx Jussi for the above explanation of crocodile based scripts. I was looking for such script which can build debian source packages, particularly maemo chinook repository source packages automatically. For my project, we are going to use same GTK+/X source packages combination as used in the maemo chinook release, so we are going to fetch these pacakges from http://repository.maemo.org chinook instead of debian-sarge, as maemo team has some patches on top the gtk+/X which are not yet upstream and particularly verified for various cross pacakges version dependencies, but we are not going to use hildon packages, as the device has TV/LCD Monitor for interaction not small 800x480 touchscreen. In Maemo project, we don't have such scripts which can auto-magically fetch this gtk+ and Xserver libraries plus their dependencies and build the debian packages for us, and ultimately rootstrap. Do you suggest crocodile is good fit for such tasks? OR do I have independently fetch each source pacakge and run dpkg-buildpacakge in the order of dependencies - this would be very hectic I would say. -- --Trilok Soni _______________________________________________ Scratchbox-users mailing list Scratchbox-users@lists.scratchbox.org http://lists.scratchbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scratchbox-users
