Hi.

This is PaDS 1.0.4 ---> convert and merge (P)ET (a)nd (D)EB into a single (S)FS

More Information and link to the Program here!

Direct link to download page ---> .pet is at the end of the post

Direct Download of PaDS
Download needed package for .deb extraction containing dpkg-deb2, undeb and unrpm.



Changes:

1.0.4
Now builds also SFS for Slacko from .pet and .txz Files - GUI and right-click option!

1.0.3-2
Wrong version number plus a missing '[de]' in .desktop file fixed.

1.0.3
- updated for the use in Precise

1.0.2
- entry in .desktop file fixed
- right-click option added ---> must somehow get lost

[RSH]

Hi.

I have found that this version has a wrong entry in its .desktop file. The entry is:

Exec=pets2sfsgui

The entry has to be:

Exec=/usr/local/pd2sfsgui/petsNdebs2sfsgui

This seems to be happened because pets2sfsgui is a symbolic link to /usr/local/pd2sfsgui/petsNdebs2sfsgui inside my private LazY Puppy Version.

---

Because of no one did complain (44 downloads since Oct. 15) I assume all did use it the way I do - with right-click action.
That's surely a lot more comfortable than to use the GUI.

Will upload a "fixed" version soon ---> even though there seems to be no need for a hurry.

HI RSH !

Tested PaDS tool today (first time ) .

Cool app . Makes live a lot easier ( ..as it should be )

Should have tested it earlier before ...

Thanks !!

[RSH]

Thank you backi.

Although I wrote this Program and its installed in my private Version of LazY Puppy, I don't use it very much.
I have to and also want to edit the .desktop files (for a German menu) of each and every application and therefor I mostly put parts together manually.

But, yes, you're right:

Hi RSH,

Thanks for the great tool. But unless I've missed it may I suggest/request a hopefully easy to add modification. Currently I can only add one pet/deb at a time to the list to be processed. But like the situation you faced when you were inspired to create PaDS, on a couple of occasions I had to include a substantial number of pets/debs. Would it be possible to point PaDS to a directory and have it include for processing all the files in that directory: sort of like ffmpeg-convert does?

Thanks in advance.

Hi mikestr!

The PaDS includes a file: /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/.inode_directory/Combine to SFS

So, why not just doing a right-click on a directory containing deb and pet files?

Or doesn't it work?

Hi.

I have updated this application for the use in Precise.

Some Precise .deb Packages do include a directory i386-linux-gnu in /lib and/or /usr/lib. Content of this directory needs to be copied either to /lib or to /usr/lib to let the SFS Module work and to haven't any missing libraries.

PaDS 1.0.3 changes all this now automatically. So content of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu will be copied to /usr/lib and directory /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu then will be replaced by a symbolic link /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu, which is linked then to ./

Link is still at first post.

Hi.

I'm sorry, but I forgot to include a directory containing a file and also to replace two parts of code in the scripts.

It's now fixed and successfully tested - both functions:

- by right-click action
- by using the GUI

Link still to find at first post.

ps: minor point: ... noticed that the displayed version of 1.0.3 is «1.0.2» ...

[solo]

Very useful. I was able to create a functioning SFS in no time at all.

Thank you!

Hello RSH,
In desktop file, [de] is missing for comment.

Just added a direct link to download to the post above and to the first post, to make downloading the package a little easier.

It may have been a little confusing to download manually from a DE page.

@ RSH
For three weeks, I test your utility.
PADS is really convenient.
Thank you very much!
