Thank you Adam, unfortunately I am not familiar with debian packages yet (consider that I normally work under Windows).
In any case, what was my original goal, was to define some script or whatever that could generate, starting from a fresh complete OFBiz checkout, a modified OFBiz tree that could be used to build a partial OFBiz configuration. The script should be able to delete some directories and to apply some SVN patches (tipically to change component-load.xml and build.xml files). I think that having these scripts in the SVN tree and using them in the BuildBot to get these additional builds could help us to gradually reduce components dependencies. Should we simply add some more ant targets? It seems that ant can do the job and works both on Linux and Windows. -Bruno 2010/1/1 Adam Heath <doo...@brainfood.com>: > Bruno Busco wrote: >> Hi Adam, >> thank you for the hint but I need some other (basic) information. >> How should I use the debian package? >> What is intended for? >> >> I see a .pl script.
