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.

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.

Softgun -

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
