Debian Package from Subversion Repository for Personal Tools/Configs
Currently things are in Subversion. I make a tweak, or a few, and do a commit. It would be nice if doing that commit would automatically build a package, verify it, and then publish it. I realize I'd have to update the Debian changelog file, but could that be done automatically from the Subversion commit comment (which I make fairly verbose)?
Of course, the automatic publish would need some sort of QA (I'd have to make a tag in subversion, maybe, for new release, so that I'd get 0.91 (tag) 0.91-1, 0.91-2, 0.91-3 (simple commits), 0.92 (tag)). Especially if the various machines I have this installed on do automatic updates on the package. Then I could have them only auto-update tagged versions. Hmmm...
I'll need a tool to update my personal files from the package files. Or link to them? Though I don't think they should be linked. Well, maybe. I'll have to think about that one.
And when I get these ideas straightened out, I'll have to make a weblog entry on it.
