Sorry, sh

i package the scripts files ("postrm" and "preinst") inside "DEBIAN" folder with "control" file.

Then i execute the deb package

Re: The Grand DEB Packaging Thread!

On what? PC? What OS?

Re: The Grand DEB Packaging Thread!

with nokia n9

and i use this script to package:

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: The Grand DEB Packaging Thread!

aha so digsigsums file is just the sha1sum values...now it will be easier to package postint and prerm files...

Re: The Grand DEB Packaging Thread!

I've read thru' this whole thread and saw a couple of posters with the following error:

Code:

tar: unrecognized option '--format=gnu'

BusyBox v1.19.0.git (MeeGo 3:1.19-8+0m6) multi-call binary.

Usage: tar -[cxtzjhmvO] [-X FILE] [-T FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE]...

dpkg-deb: subprocess tar -cf returned error exit status 1

There is a work-around for the above:
- Download this tar file from my dropbox: http://db.tt/zSChAgJA

In terminal as root:

- cp -R /path/to/downloaded/tar /bin/

- chmod 775 /bin/tar

Now just repeat your packaging and you are done :)

Edit:
If you are wondering what I did; i downloaded gnu-tar to my system from harmattan sdk repo...Doing a dpkg -i to the downloaded tar didn't work as diversions are not allowed on the n9...

So i extracted from the .deb that i downloaded the above tar file and voila doing the above fixed it up...

Edit 2: Now for packaging just follow the first post's instructions with the above fix and it should work...

Re: The Grand DEB Packaging Thread!

I still get "installation interrupted" even without postrm and preinst inside the deb package.

I only package this: /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia/style/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia.css

So when deb installs its replaces the original

Do my deb need some permission to replace that file? why i can install my packaged themes (/usr/share/themes) without problems and i get trouble with this (inside base folder)?

Re: The Grand DEB Packaging Thread!

Aegis?
Hash tables?
Opem mode / interception?
Just a few key words, but keep in mind I do not own a N9!

Re: The Grand DEB Packaging Thread!

Hello!
After doing this:
" There is a work-around for the above:

Now I have this problem (again):
Can't install. Damaged Installation Package
