[Trisquel-devel] Fetching new packages from PPAs and third party repos

[Rubén Rodríguez]

After tweaking the compilation scripts a bit, the inclusion and
adaptation of packages from external deb repositories -like PPAs or
multiverse/medibuntu/etc- is now much easier.

I tested the new feature by pushing into maverick the following
packages: devede, dvd-slideshow, ffmpeg-extra, fife, handbrake,
mjpegtools, mythtv, qdvdauthor, unknown-horizons, and videotrans.
Some of them come from the crowdfunded task list, others from
suggestions in the forums/lists. All this packages will be available in
any future Trisquel releases.

If you want to suggest new packages, please take the effort of checking
the license thoroughly, and provide the sources.list entry for the
repository providing the package.
