Interest in Debian packages?

[wally_m]

I have been using MakeMKV for some time on Linux but I got tired of going through the manual build steps every time there's a new version so I packaged the two components (-oss and -bin) into Debian packages.

I don't want to just dump binary files into this forum so I will provide the generated .dsc files. If it's appropriate and there is interest I can provide more information.

NB: I used standard Debian tools but made, tested, and am happily using the created packages on MX Linux 25.2.

I was bored so I made a GitHub repo with the contents of the `debian` folders I used to make the packages.

If sharing this code is against the rules I will gladly take down the repo. Otherwise you can find it at: https://github.com/wally-mao/makemkv-deb
