Let me ask this, how to create a package

Hello im hitting walls

Let me ask out right here how would you do

if you would create a package from http://deluge-torrent.org/ to get latest version

ive been looking around but i must be stupid i just dont understand how to start

for example i download http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/deluge/

and it needs this Dependencies:

- desktop-file-utils

- hicolor-icon-theme

- libtorrent-rasterbar>=0.15.0

- python2-chardet

- python2-distribute

- python2-pyopenssl

- pyxdg

- twisted

- xdg-utils

- librsvg (optional) - needed for gtk ui

- pygtk (optional) - needed for gtk ui

- python2-mako (optional) - needed for web ui

- python-notify (optional) - libnotify notifications

so now when i know what dependencies are needed, how do i process this down

to a package for slitaz?

Please treat me as the dumpest linux user ever

Sincerally

Re: Let me ask this, how to create a package

Hi ztealmax,

I have a question, why do we take time to write detailed documentation ?

The cookutils doc give you step by step instruction to create packages, and say creating package on slitaz is one of the easiet way to package, one file (receipt) with all info and compilation option. Maybe I should stop writing doc and just give comands :-) So let build a package in 5 commads:

# tazpkg -gi tazdev

# tazdev gen-chroot

# tazdev chroot

# cook setup

# cook test

Cook test will create a test package to see if you ok. Then create a new receip for deluge:

# cook new deluge

Edit the receipt in (chroot)/home/slitaz/wok/deluge/receipt and fill up the variables, the try a first build (it will probably fail but give you info on missing deps)

# cook deluge

To uderstand the way receipt and cook work you MUST read some official doc since it is the only way to create official packages:

Cook (also installed on all slitaz release):

http://hg.slitaz.org/cookutils/raw-file/tip/doc/cookutils.en.html

Receipt doc: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:cookbook:receipt
