Comment 10 for bug 529295

maybe but Jordi should rewrite the autotools then to edit the install procedure.
For gloobus-preview it wouldn't make a difference as people want this kind of stuff working out of the box we would have to add the plugins packages as dependencies.

People who use our ppa are doing so for gloobus-preview, so i don't think it would make a difference. If we were talking about larger repositories or official one indeed it would be the best solution. (like AUR for archlinux ;) )
