Debian convert script

[SugaryHull]

@iskunk
(Continuing from #336)
I was able to get the script working and the build to start. I had previously overlooked the DEBIAN_STABLE parameter in the Makefile. Leaving it commented out caused some issues with the resulting source code when I went to build it.

Build completed without issue

Ah, I thought it might be DEBIAN_STABLE.

The intent is that the conversion supports any of the current Debian packagings of Chromium: unstable, stable, and oldstable. In practice, I am currently only staying on top of unstable, because that is what is used for the XtraDeb package.

The variable only needs to be set when there is a difference in how the patches between Debian and u-c are reconciled, as compared to unstable. (To be more specific, when a different value of PATCH_DROP_LIST is needed.) Please let me know if you run into a problem converting a stable/oldstable package---I have no automation at present running on those.

I have just built this package in stable. I didn't do any research and was not aware of the DEBIAN_STABLE variable. I built it juswt as downloaded. As I understand you, @SugaryHull, this might not be necessary. Should I rebuild it with this variable enabled?

I ran it from the terminal to see if any errors were generated and I got the following:

Are any of these significant?

Hi @debmint,

Note that DEBIAN_STABLE is only relevant when you are building ungoogled-chromium. If it builds fine, and you didn't set the variable, then you didn't need to set it. (If you did, it would have been due to a very obvious patch conflict prior to the main build.)

I can't comment on the run-time messages, other than to note that they are generally not intended for "end user" consumption. Check to see if the browser is working correctly first, and if something is wrong, then look in the messages for a clue. It's not necessarily practical, or even possible, to make the browser run without any complaints.

Haven't run it through its paces yet, but I did try a few sites and it seemed to work alright.  The main reason I wanted a native install rather than a flatpak was that I depend on keepassxc to handle my passwords and it's hard, if not impossible to get them to communicate.  I tried to do a passkey login on github with UC and it workeds without a snag. Thank you for your considerate response.

On running "find" on this directory, it only occurs twice - both times in the Makefile.  One place it is defined (currently commented out), and the in an ifdef, but there is nothing inside it, except for a commented-out statement.  So at this time, uncommenting it would have no effect whatsoever.  Thank you again for your consideration.
