Where are the .xzm files "unsquashfs"ed to?

Added in 5 minutes 21 seconds:
Need a -d parm for the destination. -d /tmp/bundle

Hi,

Command "for a in /tmp/merge/*.xzm;do xzm2dir $a /tmp/bundle;done" not working...

why would it not work? for me it works when all conditions are met.(ok Porteus 5.0)

Code: Select all

for i in `find -type f | fgrep .xzm | sort`; do unsquashfs -n -f $i >/dev/null; done

also works, but is more impractical, because in this form it has to be executed in the directory of the .xzm files
and as Ed_P already noted the target directory is not known.
You find it out of course, in this case under /tmp/bundle/squashfs-root.
So for me the 1st variant would be the better solution.

Did you not read what the OP posted?

How to merge modules in porteux?

porteux apparently uses a different formula making it's modules or doesn't have the dependencies xzm2dir requires.

You find it out of course, in this case under /tmp/bundle/squashfs-root.

Thank you but how does it know to use the /tmp/bundle/ folder? The script, or command, would need to be execute in that folder. Adding a -d option is easier and more specific. imho

Try this:

Code: Select all

for a in /tmp/merge/*.xzm;do xzm2dir $a -o=/tmp/bundle;done

Explanation: to specify the output you need to use -o=[PATH]. This has been discussed a couple of times in this forum. This was implemented this way to allow multiple files/folders to be converted/extracted in a single action.

Ah yes. I remember encountering the -o= problem myself on something. While a good option, having it default if omitted would be convenient.

The divine comand, thanks Blaze!

It works. Thanks! We are waiting for Porteux 0.6: merge-and-create-xzm.desktop
