- I put Eugene's debian/ directly into the Git repo and wrote detailed instructions (README.ppa) on how to build packages straight from there. I hope I got this right, at least the package works.
- Packaging currently builds for pcb only and for vivid only.
- Building straight from Git means that the build farm has to build documentation, too, which in turn means a few more dependencies. Long term plan is to move documentation from the source code repository to the wiki, so there's no need to build it at all.
- I didn't investigate what these packages actually contain, just assumed they have all the stuff needed.
- Team member 'miloh' says to work on packages, too, but so far he's one of the guys who doesn't contribute back.
- When a fully automated work procedure is found it should be possible to set up a process on geda-project.org to upload packages weekly without human intervention.
- The build farm offers to do automated daily builds, but as far as I can see, one PPA can do this from one code repository, only, but gEDA has six of them.
