you can’t use apt.
Latest puppy is lucid ubuntu compatible
current debian squeeze debs should work just fine too.

postfs1: That’s more or less only if you’re not using a relatively recent version of Puppy. I think Puppy’s supported installing directly from .deb files (and RPMs?) since Puppy 4.3, or so. (Someone will correct me if I’m wrong, though.)

some *.deb packages will not install fully on puppy

google-chrome browser did not install fully on puppy linux (wary).

although it did install, it did not install fully, no support found for puppy linux (wary).

other distributions gave support for google-chrome but takes too long to compile and there was no promise it would work

If anybody can trim the FAT

Now quite all packages provided by PPM Tahrpup and sons are .deb
If anybody can trim the FAT and release a Pet, much lighter, that would be perfect.
Of course a pet without modifying the Debian package is possible, but of less interest. My opinion. At least one VIP will disagree. The important is that everybody find an agreement, or keep his way of doing
How helpful was Dejan making pets for us ! Merci pour tout ton travail, Lovers of Dpups.

imagine you click an icon on your desktop, and a window pops up with two buttons.

the first button lets you select a .deb file from a file dialog, which it opens into a folder for you.

then you (or anyone) deletes the «fat» from the folder, then you click the other button.

then it takes that folder and makes a .pet.

how easy this is to make happen depends on how much detail you want in the .pet package.

it can call the .pet maker in puppy, or it can try to get the important information from the .deb file automatically.

but puppy has so many tools like this, im surprised if they havent made this already.

The poor Puppy will disappear under the load, with its 130MB

About the Fat, i don’t mean languages included , that is easy, even for me. I mean these huge libraries joined by Debian, sometime for an application like SSR, you get a Full Debian
No, not a full Debian, but 1GB. The poor Puppy will disappear under the load, with its 130MBs
Dear apprends à coder, it yet exists, but an human trim is much more efficient. «le juste nécessaire» as they say in France, and not the gas-oil tank when you need only a jerrycan.

i mean any kind of fat— extra languages, optional libraries, anything in the .deb package that can be deleted. not just for you to edit but for anyone who can do the trimming.

Well, that wouldn’t be hard I guess, I already have script that do it when making packages from compiled binaries. But isn’t there an option when installing packages through petget to trim the fat also? There was at least in some ppm versions.

EDIT: I’m thinking about separating bin/nls/doc/dev

How do we install .deb package from the command line?

Post by JASpup » Tue Jul 06, 2021 11:24 am

Conventional wisdom for the masses is dpkg , but we have pupzip that runs executing .deb in a gui and a command line version which displays help for adding and extracting files, but not installing packages.

root# pupzip --help ++ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' ++ echo --help + EXT=--help + for i in xarchive xarchiver file-roller arc ++ which xarchive + '[' '' ']' + for i in xarchive xarchiver file-roller arc ++ which xarchiver + '[' '' ']' + for i in xarchive xarchiver file-roller arc ++ which file-roller + '[' /usr/bin/file-roller ']' + ARCHIVER=file-roller + for i in xarchive xarchiver file-roller arc ++ which arc + '[' '' ']' + '[' file-roller = '' ']' + '[' --help = '' ']' + case $EXT in + exec file-roller --help Usage: file-roller [OPTION. ] - Create and modify an archive Help Options: -?, --help Show help options --help-all Show all help options --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options --help-sm-client Show session management options Application Options: -a, --add-to=ARCHIVE Add files to the specified archive and quit the program -d, --add Add files asking the name of the archive and quit the program -e, --extract-to=FOLDER Extract archives to the specified folder and quit the program -f, --extract Extract archives asking the destination folder and quit the program -h, --extract-here Extract the contents of the archives in the archive folder and quit the program --default-dir=FOLDER Default folder to use for the '--add' and '--extract' commands --force Create destination folder without asking confirmation --display=DISPLAY X display to use

My goal is to automate installation of all the packages needed in a FOR DO loop for an app.
