This “package” build (I think we had a script for that in our scripts or so?)
is (was) only a convenience. I did not use it for years.
The .desc format i super simply, just some tags that look similar to array/hash
assignments in many languages:
[tag] value
While you can just start a new file with an editor and fill the tags like
Version [V] or Download [D], I usually simply copy a similar packages (with cp,
on the command line), and adjust the tags by copy’n pasting the info from the
packages website.
Updating is even easier, just tweak the V and D tag and that’s usually it.
And even that is even easier, we have a script for that:
scripts/Update-Pkg pkg ver
