Add custom Shairport about build HOT 8 CLOSED

3 reasons:

• Availability
• We might want to custom compile it (as we always did, now we use official debs just to go faster in this phase)
• We want version lock, as it can happen that packages get updated with breaking changes. So we want to test everything before bumping release

@ashthespy that was also my first choice (4 years ago) and I tried both aptly and repepro...
It generated a huge amount of side issues and in the end I dropped it preferring the solution of fetching and installing debs...
But yeah, somethign we can try again in the future

No I completely agree, K.I.S.S, and moreover if it ain't broke don't bother fixing it.. ;-)

Are they build differences b/w the official Debian package? or is this for availability?

Got it!
For the long-term then would suggest looking at hosting a proper package repo with all custom Volumio packages, instead of the current file repo.
That will then make life easier in managing versioning and dependencies. Will also let users update base/security packages from upstream Debian without breaking Volumio's custom bits.

Something like aptly or pulp makes this quite smooth to setup. Something to consider in the future..

Done with: 372bdae

however, for some reasons the custom systemd service is not there in the image.. needs to be further investigated

No investigation required -- just copy in service file as mentioned back in #484 (comment)

Fixed with #489
