[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] Building ocsync

[Diederik de Haas]

Hi!

I wanted to play with pyOwnCloud [1] and one of it's dependencies is ocsync. 

I found the ITP [2] and git repo [3] for it and cloned the repo on my local 
machine.
But ... I have never compiled anything from source before, so I need 'some' help 
with this. 

It looks like I need to work from the debian directory as the other directories 
seem to refer to upstream cq non-debian related instructions.
The various *.install files seem to refer to location of source code, but I don't 
know what to do with them.
The control file so far makes the most sense to me, since it contains various 
dependency information. But what does ${shlibs:Depends} mean? Is that a 
reference to the Build-Depends of the ocsync source package? And what does 
${misc:Depends} and ${misc:Pre-Depends} mean?

So basically I have no idea what to do and how to get started and any pointers 
would be highly appreciated :)

Cheers,
  Diederik
