So i talked with Jordan a bit, and he made several more changes to
xdotool which look really nice. The compilation warning messages are
cleaned up upstream now, there are better failure checks within
xdotool itself, a stronger testsuite, and Jordan adopted the man page,
which is pretty great.
I added perl as a build-dep for pod2man, since Jordan prefers to
maintain the man page in pod format. And i made a couple minor
adjustments to the upstream Makefile (to avoid installing into
/usr/local), but otherwise the package is built from the raw upstream
source.
My packaging is available from the cmrg apt repo:
deb http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/debian unstable xdotool
deb-src http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/debian unstable xdotool
And it should be cleanly buildable with svn-buildpackage if you have
the upstream source already:
svn co http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/svn/tags/xdotool/20080606-1 xdotool-20080606-1
cd xdotool-20080606-1
svn-buildpackage
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or changes. Thanks for
considering sponsorship for this package.
