Hello

Tobias made real help pages at e-tobi.net. Thanks a lot. Really very helpful!

Now i am trying to make my next VDR using "debian packaging". I can't use precompiled vdr because i need the "lnbsharing patch". But when i apply that patch, all binary plugins are rejected. That's OK.

Building vdr it self works so far, but.

But: 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?

Is that the intended way to go?

Any hints?

The script debian/vdraptrefresh seems to be something but it ia actually not...

Currenty i use these steps to "make" a debian package according to http://www.e-tobi.net/blog/articles/2004/09/21/das-vdr-quelltextpaket
