slpkg & tar2xzm > txz2xzm

[Ed_P]

So I've downloaded slpkg-3.4.2.tar.gz, extracted slpkg-3.4.2.tar and as both guest and root tried to convert it to a xzm module using tar2xzm. Surprise, Porteus doesn't have a tar2xzm function. I thought it did.

So, how do I create a slpkg xzm module??

Hi Ed

Activate 05-devel.xzm

Download the SlackBuild archive and extract it.
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/slpkg/

After extracting the slpkg.tar.gz archive, you should have the following directory tree:

./slpkg
|-- README
|-- slpkg.info
|-- slpkg.SlackBuild
|-- slack-desc
|-- doinst.sh

Next, download the source of the application slpkg-3.4.2.tar.gz
and place it in the slpkg directory listed above.

Make the script executable with chmod if necessary:

chmod +x slpkg.SlackBuild

Then run the script (as root):

./slpkg.SlackBuild

slackware package (*.tgz) will be in /tmp -- run tgz2xzm txz2xzm

Or, much easier,
Activate 05-devel.xzm and run:

Hi Donald,
I did the following
1.) activate 05-devel.xzm
2.) usm sbo -s slpkg
result:
Slackware package /tmp/slpkg-3.4.2-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz created.
3.) txz2xzm
result:
slpkg-3.4.2-x86_64-1_SBo.xzm
4.) activate and run in terminal

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ slpkg

Wow, thank you donald. Did as you suggested.

@ Ed
Command is txz2xzm (Work with txz/tgz packages). Sorry Ed.

@ Kulle
Python 2.7 is missing.

@ beny
Thanks!

No problem, I mistype things all the time.

Thank you donald.

[Rava]

Ed_P, mind uploading slpkg-3.4.2-x86_64-1_SBo.xzm for others to use?

[Ed_P]

Since it's easy to create it I don't see much need for that.

pydoc is part of python2.7 that gets removed in the stripping process(because it's not used by much)
here's an xzm module(for x86_64): pydoc.xzm
there's a good chance slkpkg might need some other python modules.. run and see..

Thank you ncmp.

[Ed_P]

ncmp your pydoc module contains 3 pydoc files; pydoc.py, pydoc.pyc and pydoc.pyo. Are all 3 needed?

(BTW I did a Rava and renamed your module to 005-pydoc.xzm since it is related to Porteus's python which is in 005-devel.xzm. )

[Kulle]

Thank you ncmprhnsbl.
slpkg-3.4.2-x86_64-1_SBo.xzm + pydoc.xzm works.
But pydoc.xzm does not work here:
gespeaker: python-error
Why? what can I do?

[ncmprhnsbl]

ncmp your pydoc module contains 3 pydoc files; pydoc.py, pydoc.pyc and pydoc.pyo. Are all 3 needed?

good question... don't know ... a process of elimination might tell you...

[Ed_P]

I renamed /usr/lib64/python2.7/pydoc.pyc and pydoc.pyo to pydocX.pyc and pydocX.pyo and slpkg still works.
