Thanks, Fredfredx181 wrote:Attached scan results for included packages.
Test only when you have time, re-uploaded apt-file-deb, see for more info my Edit here:I don't have much time for testing today but I will check this soon as I can.
Shows now only results from package files itself (using --fixed-string option for apt-file)Note: Sometimes it gives results from other packages with similar name, e.g in case of xdm it shows xdms and xdms is not really in the deb package xdm.
Thank you!So far I agree.1. Check the conflicting files with apt-to-file and move/rename the conflicting files. In case we can not rename them or move them we can point the icon path to existing /usr/share/pixmaps icon. Or use existing debian icons package as dependency. Or create such package with Puppy icons for DebianDog.
2. Check the executable with ldd (if it is dynamic) or some commands inside the script and find the dependency package name with apt-cache search or apt-to-file or with searchmonkey in /var/lib/dpkg/info.
3. Add libc6 as default dependency in every package and make-dep-package and pet2deb (for these two some kind of warning popup window with information the package could include conflicting files could be added).
4. Some more searching for conflicting packages that do the same job (as frisbee and resolvconf for example) - we can't do it proper in each package but at least what we can find can be added as conflicting package.

I've just tried adding Skype repo from ubuntu and from debian and both didn't work as being registered by apt-file.Do you know if adding new repository in sources.list will change the result for apt-file database?
I can't really decide on that yet. Some time ago Terry wrote that symlinks inside a package is bad practice (not sure why though).Edit - important thing to make clear about editing old and making new deb packages. After adding more dependencies and conflicting files all packages will be more or less compatible with any debian system except the PATH. What are we going to do with /opt/bin -> change it, add symlinks to /usre/local/bin, auto-create/remove symlinks to /usr/local/bin after installing/uninstalling, exporting /opt/bin in PATH after installing, other suggestion...
Code: Select all
apt-file -D search /path/<packagename>.debYes, I agree. I will change it while editing all other things inside.fredx181 wrote:Something wrong I found btw with name of package in control file containing upper-case chars.
For example: Resize-Save-File:
...........................................................
It seems double registered as installed and uninstalled.
So I'm not sure what's happening but better use lower-case name is my conclusion.
OK, then I will make and upload separate with updated apt-file database module apt-file+apt-file-deb+aptitude on the site. It will be mostly for us but it is good to have it available for download.I've just tried adding Skype repo from ubuntu and from debian and both didn't work as being registered by apt-file.
I do not see a problem since official debian packages contain symlinks included. For example iceweasel has symlink /usr/bin/iceweaselSome time ago Terry wrote that symlinks inside a package is bad practice (not sure why though).
Jwm version menu changing depends on /opt/bin first in PATH. Also I'm not sure how many scripts and desktop files depend in /opt/bin as full PATH to the executable script. I do not like to move all from /opt/bin and I think this will create much more troubles for me in Jwm version. On page 27 Terry suggested to use /opt directory - I prefer not to change it now.So maybe best to move the binaries to /usr/local/bin in the packages.
Still then there could be dependencies on scripts or binaries in /opt/bin so I'd say better move everything to /usr/local/bin (also in iso)
But again, I'm not sure yet.
OK, Fred. I will use it this way.Edit2: Just found out that although the script apt-file-deb works, it's overcomplicated and slow.
Just use apt-file only, in terminal:Reliable and much faster!Code: Select all
apt-file -D search /path/<packagename>.deb
Please include attached apt-file-debdir instead of apt-file-deb, it can scan whole folder + subfolders containing .deb and is much faster.Quote:

This is easy and sure way to auto-add/remove the links installing/uninstalling the package.
Great, thank you!fredx181 wrote:As you said, to avoid duplicate effords, I'm planning today to scan all .deb packages in

I also found some workaround to compare with each other which is a little difficult to explain, so I better do it.
I'll post the results if you agree.
Thanks!, it will be useful.Here is 09-find-file-debdir-aptitude module (use right click -> Save link as):

fiGood summary, you have organizing talent! (but I've noticed that already beforeMuch information to explore proper but from quick reading we can mark this changes:

)I'm a little confused about how this works ('/opt/bin/0-21-update-dpkg-porteus' and mountlink).d. obshutdown -> conflicts with xfce4-session (same somehow to be added in 021-apps-porteus.squashfs - it updates status from lines in mountlink).
Yes, I already thought the same, let's remove it then.10. alsa-equalizer-fix (it is testing package only partly solving the problem as far as I remember - maybe will be best to remove it) - to solve the conflicting /etc/asound.conf with debian-edu-config.
Thanks, Fred, I will do it this way.fredx181 wrote:I'm a little confused about how this works ('/opt/bin/0-21-update-dpkg-porteus' and mountlink).
I think it's enough to:
- rename 'xfce4-session-logout.desktop' to 'logout.desktop' in 021-apps-porteus.squashfs and
- edit 021-apps-porteus.squashfs/var/lib/dpkg/info/obshutdown-porteuswheezy.list (change also name 'xfce4-session-logout.desktop' to 'logout.desktop').

You can use safe file, safe folder, save partition, save changes in separate sfs module, remaster. Save options are different for each boot method (porteus-boot is more pupy-like):1) After making my changes how do I make sure that they are persistent? Is it best to remaster? (and what does this mean specifically? do I then have to copy the iso to a USB again?)
RemasterDog instruction you can find here:2) Is there an easy to understand explanation of what the remaster process is somewhere? (tried searching but there are so many puppy variants that I wasn't sure what was what...)
You can use frugal or full install.3) Can I install to my hard drive and then run everything in ram? Does that then mean that I have to save changes at log out?
