Thanx Jussi for the above explanation of crocodile based scripts. I was looking for such script which can build debian source packages, particularly maemo chinook repository source packages automatically.
Crocodile can be used for this, I've myself built several maemo packages using crocodile.
Do you suggest crocodile is good fit for such tasks? OR do I have independently fetch each source pacakge and run dpkg-buildpacakge in the order of dependencies - this would be very hectic I would say.
I don't think Nokia is using crocodile internally, they have their own system. But the packages are nevertheless compiled inside scratchbox with maemo's toolchain and their combination of devkits selected for the target.
So, even using apt-get source and dpkg-buildpackage manually, you should end up with properly built packages. If you want to avoid manual work, you can use crocodile :)
I'd suggest removing files from the patches and the variables subdirectories in crocodile to avoid applying the debian patches in the build process, maemo packages don't need them.
