***UPDATED***
Well I was talking to Mu about how complicated building a sfs was compared to a pet package and basically 5 minutes late Mu made one, What a nice guy he is, How handy. To use this new tool just follow these directions
place all your directories in a folder, for this example we call the folder test
open a terminal via right click mouse "terminal here"
type dir2sfs test <---press enter key
and now you have your sfs file Smile

Thanks again Mu thats a excellent tool to have Smile

Well I hope this is ok with Barry, I managed to get Gslapt working with Dingo 4.0 it took a bit of work, The first time I tried it was a over 16MB lol now I have it under 1MB Smile

So basically its the same as before you get
-Gslapt
-Unrpm
-Undeb
-Slapt-Get
Plus new script dir2sfs
all-in-One package under 1MB
Hope you enjoy it, I've managed to install VLC the strange version and Vim with it so far, Basically dingo users, if you use this you might be installing gtk1 apps and everything else to run them. But you can look at it this way, you only have to install the extras once:)
Enjoy

@@@ Update @@@
amigo suggest to also install this
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/3-Series/src2pkg-1.9.6-noarch-3.pet
It gives you better compatibility with Slackware, I've used Gslapt a lot in the past without it, but this pet package comes will a lot of command line tools for extracting, compiling/building Slackware packages, Its also specially patched for puppy Smile

hope you enjoy it

Puppy4 already has 'undeb'. It is part of the 'dpkg-deb' package.

'unrpm' could just be a script that runs the busybox 'rpm2cpio' applet.

just updated it with dir2sfs thanks to Mu Smile

Just updated again with a new feature to dir2sfs
It now adds the version-number to the filename.

If you have the folder /test
Before:
test.sfs
New:
test_301.sfs

You can override it, by adding a number to the foldername.

If you have the folder /test_999
then test_999.sfs will be created, regardless the real version of your system.
So you can build versions for different target-systems.

this gslapt version is only for Puppy 4?
if yes it's a way to backporting in puppy 3.01 dir2sfs command? it's very useful in my humble opinion

Well it worked (installed gslapt) but also changed my desktop so I have no taskbar and a weird orange/grey theme appeared which I have never seen before.

Hope others are more successful? (seems that way from previous posts)
Well done Confused

I think . . . Shocked

Hi ttuuxxx, just installed this package in puppy 3.01... not sure if you intended that or not. Gslapt seemed to work fine, though the dir2sfs script wasn't included... if it was it wasn't functional. Followed the link you posted for Barry about MU's script, and installed that under /usr/local/bin, works great. Just thought you should know. CHeers.
