How to collect files for a module
Posted: 27 Nov 2015, 17:27
I've just installed the latest version of Palemoon on my P64 build. Pleased to say that it went w/o a hitch. Next, I wanted to convert the whole beast into a module. In principle I have an idea how to do that: identify the files that were created during the install, copy them into a temp directory in /tmp and convert this temp directory into a module. I did so and the resulting module seems to work fine (I tested that with a second install of Porteus).
The creation of that module was pretty straightforward but only because the Palemoon website lists the files that get installed, so I knew where to look and what to look for. However, what about the general case when I've installed something and have no clear idea what files got copied into which directories?
