txz2xzm error

Post#1 by Rava » 28 Feb 2016, 03:49

Hi,

tried to txz2xzm a txz, that is a python program called FSlint. ( http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/ http://pkgs.org/slackware-14.1/slackonl ... k.txz.html http://en.flossmanuals.net/FSlint/ )

This is from its install script that causes the error:

Code: Select all

( cd usr/man/man1 ; rm -rf fslint.1.gz )
( cd usr/man/man1 ; ln -sf /usr/man/man1/fslint-gui.1.gz fslint.1.gz )
Since txz2xzm removes the gz zipped man pages and replaces them with the non zipped manpages (here: /usr/man/man1/fslint.1 ) the above install part sure fails.
In the resulting Porteus module, the fslint.1 is fine, but the existing symlink named fslint-gui.1.gz points to the non existing fslint.1.gz

Is there a safe way to fix such Slackware install scripts?
Cheers!
Yours Rava

I remember Ahau addressed this with his super txz2xzm. If you want to emend the code in txz2xzm I will be happy to include it.
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

Wow, that is quite the complex script. Will take me a while to understand what it does...
Cheers!
