How should a compile all these tons of plugins?
Is there somewhere a list (like patches) or script or have i to download each plugin, complie it, install it and than do the next as shown in the script?
The easiest way to go might be:
Do this once: mkdir ~/vdr-sources ; cd ~/vdr-sources apt-get source vdr edit debian/patches/00list in vdr to activate all the patches you would like to use dpkg-buildpackage -tc -uc -us -rfakeroot dpkg -i vdr-dev*.deb
for each plugin you would like to use: sudo apt-get build-dep vdr-plugin-<plugin-name> fakeroot apt-get source -b vdr-plugin-<plugin-name>
Now you can copy all *.deb files in a directory of your choice, run dpkg-scanpackages and add this directory to your sources.list.
It's not that much easier than your script, but you can skip the "dpkg-source"-call if you build the package with "apt-get source". I don't think it can be done much easier. But that's the price you have to pay, if you want to use a custom patched VDR. Put it all in a nice shell script and you can compile your packages with a single click.
