How to make abiword-2.8.6-lupu.pet:
I downloaded the debian packages from
https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archiv ... /+packages
I need the following packages:
abiword_2.8.6-0u1~ppa1_i386.deb
abiword-plugin-grammar_2.8.6-0u1~ppa1_i386.deb
abiword-plugin-mathview_2.8.6-0u1~ppa1_i386.deb
libabiword-2.8_2.8.6-0u1~ppa1_i386.deb
I also need the utility application alien2puppy which is available from
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 31&t=57548
It can be installed in /usr/bin
My method is merge all together in one folder and
then make a pet package from the folder. The program 'alien2puppy' does all
this automatically.
I put the debian packages in a folder(any name)
I open the terminal and run the command
Code: Select all
alien2puppy -p abiword-lupu-2.8.6
Continue to follow the instructions on your screen.
You press ENTER to pause the program and
make a couple of changes to abiword.desktop file
I change the category to 'Document' and the icon path is written in full,
I delete the mime line.
I press ENTER again and continue to follow the instructions given on the screen.
After only a couple of minutes I have the pet package abiword-lupu-2.8.6
Check it out by installing it.
When a check of dependencies is done it will report that no dependencies are missing.
It worked on Lucid Puppy.
It won't work on Puppy4.3.1 .
____________________________________________________
Warning: I use a frugal install of Puppy Linux and I find that
free space is needed( at least 20mb) in the partitition where
the pet is made or else the package isn't made.
Unfortunately there is no warning message at the terminal to the user about this matter.

Note: Other debian packages (libaiksaurus,libaiksaurus data, and libwps)
could be included but I excluded them to keep the package as small as possible.
