[PD-dev] separating the debian package building

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I would like to separate the debian package building so that each 
package is built separately.  There are a couple touchy packages in 
there that never build for me without a fair amount of fiddling and I 
need to build packages from source quite a bit since I have to push out 
pd updates to 15+ debian boxes.

Here's my idea:
Separate each package out into its own "debian" directory which will 
compile only one package:
externals/debian
externals/cyclone/debian
externals/flext/debian
externals/footils/debian  (aka pd-flext-ext; this might to be renamed 
pd-footils for this to work)
externals/OSCx/debian
externals/pdp/debian
externals/pidip/debian
externals/unauthorized/debian

Then a Makefile in packages/debian could run "dpkg-buildpackage -b"  
for each of these, copy the "debian" dir to the pd src, and compile it 
too.

This system would make it easier to add new debian packages and have 
them automatically build, since all of the necessary files would be 
totally separate, with the exception of a couple lines in 
packages/debian/Makefile
