Hi all,
I'm using Debian whezzy (stable) 7.7, and I need to build the last version
of jackd,ffado and calf from source with debug flag.
It's done, and it's working.
Is there a good way to build them like a package and avoid to mess up the
system if I'm installing other tool that depend from them ?
eg:
If I install a package like Ardour from whezzy port, it needs jackd.
So dpkg will install it, but I don't want it because I make the last
version by hand.
This above point is a bit dark for me and the workflow also, and I'm ready
to learn more.
By the way, I noticed that these packages doesn't exist in the backport so I
would be happy to contribute
There are two options: the easy and the more involved. The easy one is
to use the equivs program to generate an empty package with the name,
so dpkg thinks it has it installed.
The other one is to do a backport. I am not sure how easy it would be
to backport the current jessie packages, but you could try. Grab the
latest source from git (you can use debcheckout), and try to run
dpkg-buildpackage on the downloaded sources. If it works, you could
install the generated packages. And maybe even upload to backports.
More likely you will need to update options on debian/rules to make
the software build.
You could post your results here, and if any modifications were needed
integrate them and then upload to backports.
