It's a quick way to make a deb out of a tarball install. or svn checkout. It will track make install and create a deb from it. Besides .deb it also supports .rpm and .tgz (for rpm and installpkg) It's a nice tool for creating a package to distribute to all your machines. -- Michiel van Baak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://michiel.vanbaak.eu GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x71C946BD Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users? ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Nightly tarballs, would you use them?
Greetings, During the past week, there have been some requests for nightly tarballs to help making testing new Asterisk code easier. There was some debate as to whether they would be useful. The reason that they may not be useful is because you can get equivalent access to new code just by accessing the subversion repository directly. However, for one reason or another, some people would prefer to have a tarball. If this was available, would you be interested in it? If you just want to say yes or no for the sake of the poll, fell free to respond to me off-list. However, also fell free to respond here if you have more verbose comments on the topic that you would like to share. -- Russell Bryant Senior Software Engineer Open Source Team Lead Digium, Inc. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I can agree that a nightly tarball is a bit more spoon feeding for none developer people. And to create a nightly tarball is a script and a cron jobb so the resources to maintain it should be low. And for the poll, I would unlikely use the tarball. /Mats ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I think nightly tarballs could be quite useful. Whilst it's easy to
check out from subversion directly, a nightly tarball provides a
specific point of reference which can be helpful when trying to
identify a problem.
svn co -r1 http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk asterisk-r1000
svn co -r'{2008-01-18}' http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk
asterisk-20080118
(use 'svn update' with the same -r switch in an existing copy, of
course)
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.tour.revs.specifiers.html#svn.tour.revs.dates
If we had a specific problem we were trying to
fix, I would very likely grab the latest tarball and try it out.
The latest nightly tarball is not the latest SVN. Some problems may have
been fixed since.
svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk asterisk-latest
Also, if your timezone is of the US, the nightly tarball may come in the
middle of your work day. Less of an issue for Europeans. More of an
issue for Indians and farther east.

I'd be even more likely to use nightly (or other periodic snapshot, even weekly) .deb packages. Because then I could use APT to notify me and manage them. Especially if they included a changelog (which APT reports), even if that changelog were only names of files/modules touched since the last one.
