(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Is there a Pet package maker? I used the search engine and came up empty as usual...

do a search for pcompile

If you want a simple pet package maker search for "petmaker" by forum member "trio". (if you find a post by him it is in his sig)

Thanks technosaurus; But I have a drive manager written as a group of scripts.
Need the pet to un-.tar.gz, and so putting it`s files in all the right paths.
I could just post the .tar.gz file, but then the package manager wouldn`t know of it.

Thanks 01micko; I DnLded it and I`ll look at it. I assume it makes entries in the pack. man.

I intend it as a replacement for HotPup, if it`s part of a Puppy ditsro. then no installer`s needed.
This has got me thinking that perhaps an SFS file would be much easier !

for scripts etc...i have always just used rox to make the directory structure and then run dir2pet

technosaurus; Does it make entries in the package manager?

dir2pet does - as long as you fill them out

I also use it with empty folders to make "meta packages"...just add whatever dependencies you want
