apt-build

[Molot]

Advices are great... and it would be a solution if we would want to
maintain 1 - 100 packages (I've read them anyway, more knowledge not
hurts). But what we want & need to do is to download 1000~2000 source
packages and then compile (with own flags) and pack them into binary
packs.

All this should be possible easily by putting apt-build in a loop with
package list (I have all of suggested packages installed already
afaik). If the only apt-build error was "unsatisified dependiences",
it wouldn't be a problem. But now sometimes it works perfectly,
outputing ready binary packs, and other times it can't even unpack
source code (manually tested - it is NOT the problem with src packs).

Does anyone here know any way to do massive recompilation? I belive
that it is possible, since it would be a real hell on the earth if the
official team would be forced to manyually recompile each single
package when distribution's optimization flags should change (new
release and similar issues). Especially when there are good src packs
already...
