To build the Debian package
===========================
tar xzf freedink-*.tar.gz
ln -s freedink-x.y.z.tar.gz freedink_x.y.z.orig.tar.gz
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/freedink freedinkgit
cp -a freedinkgit/debian freedink-*/
cd freedink-*/
debuild -us -uc
MIDI support
============
Before Squeeze (i.e. if you backport), you needed to explicitely
specify 'timidity' as a dependency, because its absence could cause
troubles (see TROUBLESHOOTING in the source tarball and
http://bugs.debian.org/369670). An alternative would be to 'touch
/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg' on install but this looks ugly. Version
1.2.8-6 of the sdl-mixer1.2 packages introduces a non-official patch
(05_fallback_to_freepats.diff) that addresses this issue.
You could specify it as a Recommend, but this isn't supported by
Synaptic yet, so let's keep it as a dependency until then.
Nonetheless, 'freepats' is still a dependency, because it's
essentially the only way to get MIDI support for FreeDink in Debian
main.
Gnulib
======
While it may look like FreeDink is embedding a private copy of Gnulib,
this isn't the case.
This point was raised on the mailing list with a favorable response
from the ftp-masters:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-11/msg00269.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-12/msg00018.html
Learn more about Gnulib at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Introduction.html
Bottom-line: don't attempt to relink FreeDink with Debian's gnulib
package.
