arch2pet

#1 Post by zomzilla »

what is it?

a 5 minute script i made that will convert arch packages to .pet's

it is just dir2pet with some extra stuffz

any advice as to what else i could add? when i have some more time i hope to make this download from arch mirrors and convert automatically so look forward to that guys :)

how to use

place arch2pet in the same directory as the .pkg.tar.xz

chmod +x arch2pet
arch2pet package.pkg.tar.xz name_of_pet

the name_of_pet is just whatever you want the .pet to be called

enjoy!

zom

PS: tested by installing midnight commander and all its deps from the arch site; no problems :)

Which version of Puppy did you use to test it?
place arch2pet in the same directory as the .pkg.tar.xz
...
arch2pet package.pkg.tar.xz name_of_pet
I'd just as soon put it in "/root/my-applications/bin/" if the script doesn't mind not being in the same directory as the packages.


Well, I'm a sucker for package conversion scripts and utilities, so I'll give it a try at some point. Thanks!
