It is waaaaaaaay past my bed time right now , but I can explain tomorrow. I know sh!t about git but I now know a thing or two about debian packaging (within limits).jrheinlaender wrote:How is the daily PPA build created?
I've been thinking it would be best to write a tutorial on the wiki, that way others could pick up the slack if Werner or me don't have time to do it. Unfortunately I can't reliably access the wiki any more since the move nearly 2 months ago.
But as I said earlier the daily PPA is based on a bzr branch that is cloned from git master, and the bzr cannot clone a branch, only the master repo. So I think you could only manually create packages like you did for the liboce-0.12 packages. Since all you need to build is source packages, it's not that big a job to do every other week.
What I was wondering in a previous message, would the debuild command compile the branch that has been set active in git, or will it compile master? Also it would be nice if this version could be installed alongside the "regular" one. But that would require changing all the paths and the exec name...
