Re: [Announce] DEB packages creator for N9/50

I know this and like I said before it worked in all my tests :confused::eek:
Ok, I will add

Code:

devel-su user -c "command"

PS, or i can copy it to /opt for example and ado all this here. At the end from opt it can copy package back to /home/user...

Re: [Announce] DEB packages creator for N9/50 - v0.0.2

Updated to v0.0.2 (first post)
* Creating packages moved from /home/user to /opt

Again I don't have any problem with creating packages and copying the created packages to MyDocs..
Example icon changer that I created just now...

MK99, please try this new version and get screenshot before it will close itself. Report here...

Now it is working. But my file isn't. ;)

Re: [Announce] DEB packages creator for N9/50 - v0.0.2

OK, good :)
If you .deb not do what it should do, check your files (path), check your scripts (postinst, preinst, postrm, prerm).
PS. created file installable and uninstallable ? What exactly not work ?

Re: [Announce] DEB packages creator for N9/50 - v0.0.2

can you explain why you need to be a root?

Re: [Announce] DEB packages creator for N9/50 - v0.0.2

For this:

Code:

cp -f /opt/dpkgcreator/tar /bin && chmod 777 /bin/tar

ln -sf busybox /bin/tar

If you are user, you will get:

Code:

~ $ cp -f /opt/dpkgcreator/tar /bin

cp: can't create '/bin/tar': File exists

~ $ ln -sf busybox /bin/tar

ln: /bin/tar: File exists

~ $

Re: [Announce] DEB packages creator for N9/50 - v0.0.2

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/dpkgcreator

add it to your packaging script

Andrey, before I decided to do it like i did I tried it a many times.. I manually added it to PATH (/root/.profile), but it just not want to work... Only when I copied tar to /bin and give permission 777, only after this it worked for me...

Also it need permission 755 to DEBIAN folder and included files. if it in MyDoc, I can't change it... And without changing I get this error and package not created:

Quote:

~ $ dpkg-deb -b /home/user/MyDocs/DEBCREATOR/iconchanger /home/user/MyDocs/DEBCREATOR
dpkg-deb: warning: '/home/user/MyDocs/DEBCREATOR/iconchanger/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field 'Maemo-Display-Name'
dpkg-deb: warning: '/home/user/MyDocs/DEBCREATOR/iconchanger/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field 'Maemo-Flags'
dpkg-deb: warning: '/home/user/MyDocs/DEBCREATOR/iconchanger/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field 'Maemo-Icon-26'
dpkg-deb: building package `iconchanger' in `/home/user/MyDocs/DEBCREATOR/iconchanger_0.0.2_armel.deb'.
dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 777 (must be >=0755 and <=0775)

But like I already said I don't have any problem when it work in /home/user or now in /opt ;)

PS. Later I will try something else to get it run as user...

Re: [Announce] DEB packages creator for N9/50 - v0.0.2

MK99, scripts in DEBIAN folder to write permission to your folders.
About not shown in apps manager, it weird.. Maybe it not installed properly ? Don't know...
Download my iconchanger packaged, put it to MyDocs somewhere and extract the content, to see how I use scripts..

Code:

dpkg-deb -x /path/to/deb-package-name /path/to/target directory && dpkg-deb -e /path/to/deb-package-name /path/to/target directory/DEBIAN
