| #!/bin/bash # # deb2dsl - Converts one or more Debian packages (*.deb files) into # a DSL extension (*.dsl file) with prompts to create a # myDSL Menu item for the newly created package. # # Revision: 1 # Date: 02/19/05 # Original Author: cbagger01 from the DSL forums # # Rev 1 - Removed leading . from dsl file listings and # removed .dsl from mydsl menu filename # # This script will grab all *.deb files located in your # "Home" directory, IE: the /home/username directory # It will also grab all *.deb files located in your apt # cache, IE: /var/cache/apt/archives # # Before running this script, you need to actually install # all of your Debian packages using 'dpkg -i' or # 'apt-get install' or a package manager like Synaptic. # Do NOT delete your leftover *.deb files or purge your # apt-cache until after you have finished running this # script. # # Disclaimer: # This script is just a file repackaging program that # can be used for simple Debian packages. It will not # perform post-extraction configuration that is done # by more sophisticated Debian packages. It also cannot # be used to upgrade packages from older versions # that are part of the DSL livecd base installation. # This script will not work if it is run under the 'root' effective # user ID which is 0 if [ "$EUID" -eq "0" ]; then echo "Do not use 'root' access to run this script.
