In a recent posting to maemo-users Andrew Flegg mentioned his Maemo Unofficial Debs project (http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/). What is the status of that?
In my repository (http://www.cobb.uk.net/770/) I have a number of debs which I have minimally ported from current Debian (Etch), because I needed them for something. Most are either unchanged or minimally changed. The most common change has been to change debian/compat from 5 to 4 (they still seem to build OK!). In some cases some minor changes have been necessary to either the dependencies or the build dependencies. Occasionally I have had to comment out part of a build (mostly regression tests which I find often depend on more things than are listed in the build dependencies). Some of them don't want to build completely cleanly (i.e. just with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc) -- often needing -d or -nc or both (I don't understand the number of packages that cannot run their "clean" step without error when invoked in a directory created from apt-get sources with no changes!). However, I have (obviously) succeeded in building the ones I list. It would be great if there was a convenient way to make those available to the community (i.e. not dependent on people having to add my repo and many others like it) and, very importantly, some way to have them rebuilt (preferably automatically, or at least when required). For example, the opensync ones need rebuilding fairly frequently as opensync is a work in progress. If I understand correctly, those were exactly the goals of mud-builder. What is the status? Is it open for use? Is there any point in trying to move the packages I have built to mud-builder?
