hi farfary,
you can use this tar http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52851745/tar if you want to use dpkg-deb on your device... It is tested to work well...


Btw: Forgot to report earlier your script works well ;)

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg
 

very thanks for reply :)
this tar is the gnu-tar package in harmattan sdk repo ?

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg
 

yup gnu-tar that won't install on your system as its for n900...i extracted just tar and linked it...putting it in /bin/ with chmod 775'ng it allows dpkg-deb to successfully compile...Its tested so no worries ;)

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg
 

veryy thanks , my scripts has some bugs , such as the icon in applications manager is not show
i work to fix these :)

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg
 

farfary, from this message of thedead1440 you need to edit your first post from 777 to 775 ;)

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg
 

Ohh YEsss :D
i Edited post #1

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg
 

farfary one last thing :D

for the tar replacement just do:

cp -R /path/to/downloaded/tar /bin/
chmod 775 /bin/tar


rm /bin/tar hence not required...
it will ensure people are less scared to try this out :D



Edit: why don't you package the new tar together with your backdeb with a cp -R command in your package? that would save the cp -R step...actually i think you can add a Makefile that does this as well as chmod 775's both backdeb and tar so then a user just installs your package and is good to go...

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg
 

OWww :D i Don'n Know that ( cp -R ... )
i try to add tar to my package but the dpkg errorED , its say the busybux has this file in file list , and you can not replace it
