Homebrew Channel packaging

[Informatic]

I can work on packaging this up into a proper .ipk and publishing this onto webosbrew repository, if you don't mind.

• Make alternative installer into something a little more interactive - bash script with graphical luna prompts/alerts can work.
• Move init script directly into the package and symlink it instead of copying/writing it into /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d - removal of "dts restore" application will effectively disable dts patches after a reboot. Making "installer" script" remove said symlink on every other app launch could work too.
• mkdir -p /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d - people installing webosbrew via crashd exploit (and rootmytv v1 itself) do not actually make that directory - it should be fairly safe to create it on install.
• Actually package everything into... a package
• Publish on webosbrew apps-repo
• (optionally) Set up CI - how annoying would it be to build native libraries used here in CI? Artifacts directly in the repo are fine for now.

Sounds good to me. Note that I was planning to rewrite the install script to remove the need for hardcoded links, and I also have a slight update of the libs (but I don't think there's any actual difference).

Obviously, I designed the script around commandline usage, but I sure wouldn't mind something a lot more UI based and more attractive for the general public.

So, please feel free to go ahead with the above, with my thanks for volunteering to do this!

Along with the removal of harcoded links and updating the libs, the 1.1 release has now moved the init script into the archive, which is then symlinked into /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d, so I am going to consider that item 2 above is complete.

I chose not to force-create the /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/ directory as I am pretty sure that people running older versions of webOS should have DTS support and little need for this, and I'd rather avoid altering the file system unless needed.

Hi sir, is it possible to install this via "webOS Dev Manager" without any root?
