Is there a command line statement that will install a pet file without being in X?

or something like this should work most of the time

wget -c http://URL/package.pet
pet2tgz package.pet
tar -xf package.tar.gz /
/.pinstall.sh
rm /.pinstall.sh

You should try "petget +<package name>" to install
"petget -<package name>" to uninstall

Just to clarify:

when installing, use an absolute path.
eg: #petget +/root/downloads/firefox-3.0.pet

when uninstalling, don't specify name with suffix, only package name.

eg: #petget -firefox-3.0

I resume this topic to know if there are some updates...

I want to make a little script that will install a bunch of pets so I can avoid the hassle of doing it one by one every time I need to make a new savefile...

Of course there must be no confirmation dialogs etc... error handling is welcome but I'd use it only with already well tested pets.

Of course I want to be able to uninstall every single pet installed with this script via classic Package manager.

Any tip?

Copy and Paste This Save as "petall" (PET Install)

Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $1 = "" ]; then
 echo "Usage :: petall /dir/to/pet/file "\("Don't Put The .pet at the end"\)""
 exit 0
fi
if [ -f "$1" ]; then
 pet2tgz "$1".pet
 tar -xf "$1".tar.gz
 cd "$1"
 if [ -f ./pinstall.sh ]; then
  ./pinistall.sh
  exit 0
 fi
 if [ -f ./.pinstall.sh ]; then
  ./.pinstall.sh
  exit 0
 fi
 rm -rf ./pet.specs
 mv -rf ./* /
 echo "Done"
 exit 0
fi


To Do Multiple I Would Suggest Making a Folder where all the pets are (of the program/lib you want are the only ones in the folder)
in the terminal

cd /dir/to/pet/files/folder
pet2tgz ./*
tar -xf ./*

Now you should have all the packages in separated folders, now just copy and paste all of the contents into another new folder (SAME DIRECTORY)

example
dir1/
bin/
app
usr/
lib/
lib.so
pet.specs

move each FOLDER (Not The Files, it'll take you longer obviously)(Forget About the pet.specs)
into one New Folder and now just close the folder
it should look like this

dir1/
<EMPTY>
pet.specs

dir2/
bin/
app
app2
usr/
lib/
lib.so
lib2.so

and in the terminal

dir2pet <FOLDER_NAME_WHERE_ALL_THE_FILES_ARE>
#^^ __Not The bin folder, the main folder (example dir would be dir2)

in the GUI window you'll just select stuff, put the package ID and Author,
The Section (if a Library, chose BuildBlock)
the rest is self done so click ok
and now

petget <THE_FINAL_DOTPET_IS_NAMED_JUST_LIKE_THE_FOLDER>

Or Just Click the pet file and install

lol I think I wrote something noob friendly xD lol No Offense
I'm Currently Doing Something Like That[/code]

For WITHOUT X just use the terminal Command above (Green Text)
And It should work still :3

Thanks Lord_Solrac2 but your procedure would take me more than the time to install all pets just clicking on them Wink nor I will be then able to uninstall a single package.

What I was looking for, and probably the hard part is to get rid of dialogs, a CLI tool that should work like this (suppose tool is named petjet, I omit versions in pet names):

Code:
petjet gimp.pet deadbeef.pet numlockx.pet shell-fm.pet trayfm.pet tinygmc.pet skype.pet ...


or even

Code:
petjet defaults/*.pet


and will install them one-by-one in a bunch with no more user intervention (given I already tested all pets in a precedent installation and I'm sure they work).

One-by-one part is mandatory sinc I want to be free to, say, later disinstall skype only and replace it with a newer version.

It's not easy, I know, but a kind of Ubuntu apt-get with limited features on install and remove and a force option to assume I always agree to the default option:

- install? => Y
- remove? => Y
- deps missing, install anyway? => Y
- rm -r / ? => N Very Happy

I will have to try this... Never found petget to work for me before, unless I am running an X desktop... I want a true CLI version... So I'll try this again!
