I meant If you install the the ibiblio package posted above, it contains a modified pupzip that uses xarchiver and not xarchive, so pupzip still works as usual, xarchiver does open deb/rpm, it extract them into 2 targ.gz files, then you have to extract the data.tar.gz only, probably needs some sort of wrapper to automatically extract it. So its a 2 step process, extract the deb and then extract the data.tar.gz file.mikeb wrote:I was suggesting pupzip open xarchiver for such as tar.gx, gzip2 etc but open xarchive for deb, rpm, pet , pup since xarchiver cannot handle these...or is that what you meant?
mike
The files xarchiver can't handle is the new format that slackware is using for there up and coming release, They are using a .txz here's an example file. http://packages.slackware.it/package.ph ... i486-3.txz
If you do a package search at http://packages.slackware.it/
and select "Slackware-current" they are all txz packages, but if you select any of the previous ones like 12.2, 12.1, 12.0 etc they are all tar.gz.
