OK, you can do it like this..
1. Before packaging you need your_package.aegis file that include this:

Code:

<aegis>

    <request policy="add">

    <credential name="UID::root" />

    <credential name="GID::root" />

    <credential name="GRP::root" />



    <for path="/opt/mytheme/changer/script.sh" />

    </request>

</aegis>

2. The .desktop file should look like this:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=My Theme

Exec=/usr/bin/aegis-exec -s -u user -l "/opt/mytheme/changer/script.sh"

Icon=/opt/mytheme/icon/icon.png

X-Window-Icon=

X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

oh, really, aegis-exec -s -u user ... ?

@flotron. how you packaging to geb? you can use aegis-deb-add to inject aegis manifest ot existing deb package.

Re: How to give permission to a script file inside a deb?

A big SORRY from my side.
As soon as I stepped out and Schturmann stepped in, it was obvious that this imeant for N9. And all my guides of course only work for N900. Must have overread that in your first post.

Exactly... You are right he can change it to "root" too.. But for me in N9QT it work with "user". If i change it to root, the version-auto-checker script, that run from n9qt script, not work correctly..

I package my debs with my n9 :( with this script

/home/user/MyDocs/makedeb.sh /home/user/mypackagefolder (inside folder: DEBIAN,opt,usr.. with control,postint,etc...)

Code:

#!/bin/sh



#create .deb files for packages (fremantle&harmattan)



if [ ! $1 ];then

 echo Create .deb files for fremantle and harmattan devices

 echo Usage: make-deb /path/to/package

 exit 0

fi



#step in package directory

chdir "$1"



#versionnumber and packagename from control file

packagename=`grep "Package: " DEBIAN/control | cut -d ' ' -f 2`

versionnumber=`grep "Version: " DEBIAN/control | cut -d ' ' -f 2`



#remove old md5 and digsig sums

rm -f DEBIAN/md5sums 2>/dev/null

rm -f DEBIAN/digsigsums 2>/dev/null



#list all folders except DEBIAN

find | grep -v "./DEBIAN" > ../md5



#get md5 and digsig sums to DEBIAN/

while read line

do

 if [ -f "$line" ]; then

  #cut "./" from beginning

  line=`echo "$line" | cut -c 3-`



  #get md5

  md5sum "$line" >> DEBIAN/md5sums



  #get sha1 for digital signatures

  echo S 15 com.nokia.maemo H 40 `sha1sum "$line" | cut -c -40` R `expr length "$line"` $line >> DEBIAN/digsigsums

 fi

done < "../md5"



#remove temp file list

rm -f ../md5



#package control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz

tar -cvzf ../control.tar.gz -C DEBIAN/ . >/dev/null

tar -cvzf ../data.tar.gz . --exclude=DEBIAN >/dev/null

echo 2.0>../debian-binary



#step outside package folder

cd ..



#create debian archive "package_version.deb"

ar -rcv $packagename"_"$versionnumber.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz >/dev/null



#remove packaged files

rm -f debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz 2>/dev/null

Re: How to give permission to a script file inside a deb?

Ok, thanks, but I meant to Coderus :)
I also want to learn how inject aegis manifest ot existing deb package :)

Re: How to give permission to a script file inside a deb?

I tried yours Schturman (adding the aegis an rules files and modifyng the desktop file) but when i press the icon nothing happens.
The script only works in the postint or preinst, etc.. Not executing from icon

Re: How to give permission to a script file inside a deb?

Packaging on n9 it's not really the same like packaging on the Linux pc via scratchbox. I don't know how to do it, we need to wait for Coderus that can explain how inject aegis manifest ot existing deb package.
Or another way, install scratchbox on Linux pc and i will try to help you crate this package..
