myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: deb2dsl script testers needed

Two possibilities:

(1) Type in the entire command when prompted in the deb2dsl script.

(2) If that doesn't work, then edit the deb2dsl script and place a pound sign "#" in from of the last "tar" command and the last 3 "rm" commands. Then save your script. Then run deb2dsl.
When the script is finished, open up the /tmp/mydsl.menu/packagename file with a text editor and change the command so that it reads like you want, IE: rxvt -T etc...
Then save the file and then type in this command:

Code Sample

tar -zcvf packagename.dsl -T /tmp/deb2dsl_files.tmp -C /

and then save your new dsl extension somewhere with permanent storage and then reboot to get rid of the temporary files.

Good Luck.

Thanx alot, for your help!
I was so tired when i wrote my last post that it feels like a miracle that anyone understood what i ment. I will try out your solution later this evening.

Take care/

Hello Chagger 01

I tried to make a postgresql dsl using your excellent script. It was actively running and I made two new databases and ran the script.
It seems to work and made the dsl. I wrote the file to the /opt directory of dsl 0.9.2

However i cannot run the program.

Postgresql starts the postgresql postmaster and this does not seems to be running now. I cannot go to /etc/init.d and run postgresql start to start the program. DOes the script grab the canges I made or only the originally downloaded deb files?

Any enligtenment regards this problem is welcome.

It only packages up the original .debs. You can open the .dsl, edit files, and then repackage them. That way you have a custom .dsl for your needs.

Wow!
How do I open and edit and repackage a dsl? Can I use the deb2ds to repackl or is it done "manually" ?

I could not find this in my search :-( Is it documented anywhere?

Thanks again for your help
