Re: VDR form packages

[Marx <acc.for.news@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not as good in writing scripts as you :) Do you install VDR from 
sources, or build debian packages?
I know it's not so hard to build everything manually and in fact I did 
it many times. Hovewer packages in yavdr or e-tobi repositories were 
easier to install, and it was sure they will work together. Sometimes 
VDR or packages are patched to work better by maintainer of repo. I 
don't need to follow all git svn of all plugins and cope with some 
problems of compiling it myself, if somebody did it. I think it's better 
to use his work because it's better in it and additionally i test his 
work. Sometimes I'm in hurry to test some "super new plugin". Aptitude, 
search, install, restart vdr and test - it gets a few minutes and 
afterall it's easy to unistall it too. And while new version of VDR is 
published, i simple aptitude, update and go - I have new version with 
all new plugins.
That's why I like having VDR in packages.
Knowing that Debian has "master od VDR" ;) in his team is very good info 
and I will try to stick with this version
