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!

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?zomzilla wrote:PS: tested by installing midnight commander and all its deps from the arch site; no problems
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.place arch2pet in the same directory as the .pkg.tar.xz
...
arch2pet package.pkg.tar.xz name_of_pet
Well, I'm a sucker for package conversion scripts and utilities, so I'll give it a try at some point. Thanks!
