Cool. The only inconvenience is that the folder and the file name has the
date so I cannot have the OBS pull the freshest one automatically. An url
without "variables", like
/auto-build/latest/Pd-extended_0.43.4-source.debian.tar.bz2 would do the
trick...

BTW, would it be possible to make up the tar.gz which comes from
sourceforge in a way that it has the proper /debian folder instead of the
seemingly less proper /packages/linux_make/debian/? Why cannot it have all
the superpower that the one from the auto-build repo has? Sorry, perhaps
there is a reason, I'm just too dumb for this source package business yet.

Btw, /packages/redhat_rpm/pd-extended.spec in the source package seems
outdated (Version: 0.39.2)... It's an earlier (2006) version of the spec
file by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano. However, it has the advantage that it
generates separate packages for the externals (if it still works), while
the last (2010) version generated a core and an extra package only.

I've tried this in /externals/unauthorized/Makefile:

but it doesn't work. How can I effectively disable building
/externals/unauthorized/mp3* ?

I've started to set up 0.43 too on the OBS and I'll definitely try to go
into separating packages when I'm there.

I'll have to figure out how to handle the source (and MD5s!) for the debian
builds and then I can evolve them along with the RPMs.

If anyone wants to join the party, of course I'll be happy to add them as
admins.
