[Devil-linux-develop] reworking build system

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey !

I'm currently reworking the build system. ( 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=693367&group_id=34096&atid=410646 
)
The major change is that you can define dependencies (i.e. which libs 
are required for this package). It uses the insserv utility and will be 
the same as our init system.

Sounds scary.  Give me a little notice before you check it in?
(so I can run one last good compile, just in case ...  ;-)

It's probably a bit strange in the beginning, but you will soon love the 
benefits.

I have to continue cleaning now, I have people coming over tonight.

The new build system seems to work. I have to do a few more compiles to 
make sure, but it looks like I can check it in later tonight.
So do you "cvs update -d -P" before I check my stuff in. ;-)

Try the ISO and make sure it runs too.  :-)

Looks like our build system is a little bit too much for insserv. ;-)
That means there will be some delays....
