Ubuntu repo on PPM

Is there any way to put ubuntu repo in PPM? It seems that internally the program takes the list of debian packages and I delete the debian.xzm and
wrote REPO=http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in debian text file of / etc / var / . But the ppm always take the listing debian :wall: :%)
Will there be a module porteus synaptic or muon, since this OS is root and guest? :crazy:

The name 'Debian' is hardcoded into Porteus Package Manager and can't be changed through configuration files. You have to edit the source code of PPM in order to make the Ubuntu repositories compatible with PPM.

No it's plain source code that may be found in the directory /opt/porteus-scripts/

I wrote an app to extract various alien packages such as
debian. Once it is extracted it can then be made into XZM module.

Thanks Don. I'll see the debianization of puppy and see if there is a pet in synaptic. :D
Hamza script and saw several calls to, however, take hand which was to change the repo and it seems that the file is different from archxx.list list ubuntu to debian. :cry:

don570. It's very good. I add .sb, sfs extension files. and change

cd "/"
base_name=`basename "$FILE" .sb`
STORE_FOLDER="$base_name"

#mkdir -p "$STORE_FOLDER"
cd "/"
exec xzm2dir "$FILE" . &

it decompresses the subfolders in / directly and not to the folder created.

You could modify it to upload it, I think, is more usable. Could have 3 options Home, subfolder and direct /. :)
