Hi Guys

Basically I use UnRPM all the time and really do think its a shame that it isn't included with puppy as a default application. Oh well anyways whenever I download it from dotpups.de and try to install it, I always get some stupid error and have to remove it from the temp files and manually move it to the correct directories. What a pain. So I just repackage it as a pet package and now it installs painlessly Smile

enjoy

to use it just open a console in the folder where the package is.
type undeb package-name.deb
or unrpm package-name.rpm

Hey Jeff
I needed the sources to add support to a dragNdrop script

I have to have sources for all packages compiled

here is the source code
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.14.29.tar.gz

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/rpm/rpm_4.7.2.orig.tar.gz

I know someone else will need it

In which folder should be placed unrpm to work?
How does unrpm work? I downloaded to My-applications folder, but it does't work. Every time I download a new application, there is an error suggesting to use unrpm. Please advice. Thank you.

Hi ttuuxxx - was there a reason why this was called just unrpm.pet rather than unrpm_undeb.pet? (handy to have both abilities highlighted).
Also, what would be the chances of having the pet modified so that it set whatever mime types are required to show "undeb" and/or "unrpm" when a deb or rpm file was rightclicked??
(I'm running Slacko 5.6 if that makes a difference)
cheers!

To greengeek & all:

I'm sure ttuuxxx's script was quite useful in its day, and I am personally
grateful to him for it.

But for about a year now, SFR has come up with his wonderful UExtract,
which can unpack rpm, deb and so many other archive formats.

Nice, thanks musher - uextract also managed to extract the post install scripts etc as well as just the directories, which unrpm did not seem to do (unless I was using it wrong which is entirely possible)
