*.deb > Slitaz package

Hi

SliTaz has debian-ar and wget and can so manage Debian-deb's.

(but «ar» seems not to be easy to find :-( . it is not in SliTaz-base...)

How to transfer a deb > Slitaz package?

Re: *.deb > Slitaz package

In this (french) guide, I over-convert debian packages:

http://doc.slitaz.org/fr:guides:msp430

I hope it helps.

Happy slitaz

Re: *.deb > Slitaz package

Hi

Thank you for both answer, but it was as far not exactly my question, that I wish to change somewhat in the *deb doing that.

It is the reason why

a1/ I need to find where is debian-ar (because I will do that mainly in Slitaz base and there is no «ar» in Slitaz base)

a2/ if «ar» is perhaps in a bigger SliTaz package, how to extract only ar?

b/ I need to use ar to unpack the Debian package really properly.

c/ Only after changing the content it is possible to continue, change / adapt the content, and build my own Slitaz package.

thank you for the happy SliTaz and same for you both!

Note: How to mark a thread as «solved»?

Re: *.deb > Slitaz package

dpkg-deb is busybox applet to list or extract deb package contents.

Usage: dpkg-deb [-cefxX] FILE [argument

Perform actions on Debian packages (.debs)

-c List contents of filesystem tree

-e Extract control files to [argument] directory

-f  Display control field name starting with [argument]

-x Extract packages filesystem tree to directory

-X Verbose extract

ar is busybox-applet

busybox is in slitaz-base

Re: *.deb > Slitaz package

Hi Mojo

Thank you very much. I will try this way

kind rgds

PS: ar is busybox-applet

busybox is in slitaz-base

I suppose not in all SliTaz... (in rolling as actually install by me it is a link to i486-slitaz-linux-ar and copyed in also linux'es, it also works. ok! as a lot of other linux'es have busybox-applet, it is perhaps possible. but in slitaz base, it did not start...) I am not in base actually, I will look later if I can find the link and i486-slitaz-linux-ar!

Re: *.deb > Slitaz package

Hi Oui

I was wrong, ar is in binutils not busybox.

http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?filelist=binutils

[c]# tazpkg -gi binutils[/c]
