Debian packaging is mostly there

[ricardo lafuente]

After much headscratching, we can now make debian packages by typing
'make builddeb' :-) Changes have been pushed to Gitorious.

Some notes:
- I've excluded the sbopencv library (see http://bugs.shoebot.net/issue9)
- I've also excluded the colors/aggregated dir, which has thousands of
files which bloat up the filesize

Still missing:
- Properly mark version as 0.4a4, and update the changelog -- this is
giving me errors about 'unrepresentable changes to source'.
- Package Gedit plugin

[ricardo lafuente]

I finally solved the last remaining errors in building the Debian
packages, and managed to upload without errors to Launchpad. We now have
a PPA!

https://launchpad.net/~rlafuente/+archive/shoebot

This already features the new version using Stuart's -dq rewrite.

As I mentioned before, I had to exclude sbopencv because of build
errors. Also, binary files can't be included, so the Supershape lib had
to be left out as well. Finally, I also excluded the colors/aggregated
dir (the one with thousands of XML files). Hopefully we can fix all of
this later.

Wow, great work :)

Hello,

I installed from the ppa, but I don't understand how to start shoebot
now.

Can someone help please?

Thank you for this beautiful software.

If you do it via the PPA, you'll get the command-line version of
Shoebot. In order to see what you can do, try opening a terminal and typing

sbot -h

In case you're missing the graphical interface, you can install the
Gedit plugin, which I'm now working on packaging. In the meantime, you
can get it running by:

- Downloading the Sheobot source code
- Heading to the extensions/gedit-plugin dir
- Running the install.sh script inside

And you should now see the Shoebot plugin in your Gedit preferences window.
