Attached is a provisional file / replacement for make-ring.py named build-jami.py.hold

And a diff -u of that against my local make-ring.py

Two objectives:

1/ Move namespace "ring" to "jami"

This seems to work OK with the current git tree on this apt based system

2/ Exploit apt a little more.

• added a command line argument --aptbuilds
• loads an "apt-cache depends jami" generated static list into %packages
• calls apt-get build-deps on a readily extended set of core packages.

I believe I have followed existing conventions.

As this was such a major albeit mostly cosmetic, alteration to the existing script I created a new version with a new name. ...

The .hold suffix is simply a convention that I use for my local .gitignore (s)

Observations:

• Does not seem to break anything here while the use of the local developers kit has more flexibility.

  i.e. effectively it allows the local sources.list repositories (and rules) - notably libs from ceres/sid/unstable or testing - also perhaps some of the required includes.

  YMMV of course.

• I experimented with grepping sid ceres from /etc/ Eventually realised that a simple human run time choice was just as effective. and given the dev can grok apt --help possibly less surprising.

(also discovered a whole lot of new python3.7 around Popen() and subprocess.run('', shell=True) )

• It seemed pointless adding this to the git tree on review.jami as jenkins would probably have a reportage spinout :)

So use, don't use ... this works for me.

It may work for somebody else.
