the script can be found under your misc/ section and seems to create
packages plus add the build etc bits to the local svn.
(bytheway I thought this subthread would autoappear under the T2
problems thread, or do you need to massage it there.)

Jumping ahead, while building my first T2 :-)} on a development box.
I found the T2 package builder, something I was looking for, however it uses
freshmeat!
Freshmeat was renamed freecode some time ago and the directory structure
changed considerably at that time. However, now even that has changed as
freecode is no longer being updated( since 18 june 2014), it's now considered a
static referance website, with all new stuff appearing at sourceforge or the
packages own sites.
I'm not sure how this is going to effect things, but i'm sure it will for
building, and I was going to make use of it as a payback to add a dozen or so
packages you don't have currently. So until things are right with this script
or it's replaced with another build script I'm not sure what to do, other than
try amigo's src2pkg and see what happens. However he doesn't have a
$package-$version.tar.bz2 output for a built package at present, if you want it
added, i'll pass on a request.
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
