Hello Andreas, Thanks, that makes sense. I will patch anything that needs building instead of allowing git to download then build. Although right now, I am still in the process of migrating everything to use libs that have already been packaged and are available via apt, though until I go through everything one by one I won't be too sure as to what is not available via apt. Although I do not understand why upstream are manually building these...
