As someone pointed out (sorry I forget who), the source source files for VLC
actually exist in gNewSwense deltah, so simple addition to builder would
compile the packages and make them available.
This was noticed as a consequence of the the freedom bug being noticed in VLC,
and this script also removes the offending file.
Now, this is my first contribution to Builder, so I hope that it will do what I
intend (licence terms the same as the rest of Builder of course):
####### gen-vlc ################
. config
rm -rf $WORKINGDIR
mkdir -p $WORKINGDIR
cd $WORKINGDIR
apt-get source vlc$VERSION
apt-get --yes build-dep vlc$VERSION
cd vlc-*
rm modules/stream_out/transrate/putvlc.h
echo | dch -D $RELEASE -v $(sed -n
'1s#^.*(\(.*\)).*#\1'${DISTRONAME_L}${VLC_VERSION}'#p' debian/changelog) "Changed
to remove non-free file"
dpkg-buildpackage $DPKGOPTS
#####################
config would need a new line under "# Version numbers":
VLC_VERSION=1
and do-update would need a new "ensure_updated" line under "# General"
ensure_updated base-files base-files $RELEASE$distro_release ./gen-vlc
$VLC_VERSION
