Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg

hi farfary,
you can use this tar http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52851745/tar if you want to use dpkg-deb on your device... It is tested to work well...

Btw: Forgot to report earlier your script works well ;)

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg

yup gnu-tar that won't install on your system as its for n900...i extracted just tar and linked it...putting it in /bin/ with chmod 775'ng it allows dpkg-deb to successfully compile...Its tested so no worries ;)

Re: [Testing] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg

farfary one last thing :D

for the tar replacement just do:

cp -R /path/to/downloaded/tar /bin/
chmod 775 /bin/tar

rm /bin/tar hence not required...
it will ensure people are less scared to try this out :D

Edit: why don't you package the new tar together with your backdeb with a cp -R command in your package? that would save the cp -R step...actually i think you can add a Makefile that does this as well as chmod 775's both backdeb and tar so then a user just installs your package and is good to go...

Once you have installed Tweak KK-3-1,

in terminal as root:

Code:

backdeb -o account-plugin-skype

Edit:

If you want to find the package name of an app; in terminal as root:

Code:

dpkg -l | grep APP_NAME

The packages related to the app will appear then use backdeb to get them...

very Thanks for ansewr thedead1440 :D
Yes You can , all app was installed on System ( these app is original app , you can not delet these or find theme with

Code:

dpkg show <packagename>

but you can find theme with

Code:

apt-cache show <packagename>

and for list of package file

Code:

dpkg -L <packagename>

worked
AND a things
some app need depends !
i dont tested these , but when you backdeb a package , dpkg error depends , and now you can install theme with

Code:

apt-get -f install

if apt-get not installed theme, add options " -d "
apt-get downloaded these , now you can install theme with " incept "
only for find the package details i add options for my app , because
the way is deffrent

You can use it directly from tweak (after installation of creator)...
Tweak KK-4-3-2
it will ask: "Write the correct SYSTEM package name: "
here just write the name of package, for example:

Code:

account-plugin-skype

and it will create the .deb file...

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

On Nokia N9, I need to install "binutils" package so "ar" works.
I've changed the destination directory to "/root/" instead of "/home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/" by editing the scripts in "/opt/backdeb/".

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

I would prefer it to backup to the mmc partition as it does now so that i can backup how many packages i want without eating up space from the rootfs partition...

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

hmmm i have never got that... Maybe Because i am using the version since that was first released and had a modified tar instead of the regular tar... The first page still has links to that tar...I also never installed binutils..

Will test the latest version and report back...

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

Thedead1440, its not because of "tar" file, i don't use this file and after installation binutils it work without any problem..
After creating the .deb File, a Latest command is just transfer to user directory:

Code:

devel-su user -c "cp -f /home/.backdebtmp/$package$VERSION\_armel.deb /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb"

Do you also get the permission denied error as in 4posts above? I've never got that error...

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

Yes, i got this when copy command is directly without "devel-su user -c "command""
This is what i edited and added to N9QT..
Work like a charm ;)

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

ah...so the new package has to be run as user not root in terminal?

2012-09-21 05:15

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

No, you run it as root, just the latest copying command run as user to transfer to user directory.
This its way work from N9QT.

Edit: True just used it from N9QTweak; it installed binutils and it works well :D

Although I'm not particularly interested in this program, one thing I'd like to note is that you only pack directories (-d) and *regular* (-f) files.

So if the package included any symlinks or special files, they will not be backed up.

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

farfary,

Is there a method that would allow the backup of all user/store installed apps in one go? Instead of manually entering the package names?

As I've 149 apps and unfortunately due to an issue, I need to reflash :(

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

Ok just tried and it didn't work out...

I chose the first option to backup all packages; it asked me to create a backup from settings->Sync and backup...Once I did that it asked me to enter the bacup folder name which in my case was "Backup1"...After entering this an error came about grep"...." not found...Before i could see the error a message came that all backed up successfully...

However in the BackupN9 folder there is a empty file of BackupedListOfPackagesInBackAll.list with size 0kb...

Edit:
Took a screenshot of it :D

The output is:

Code:

/opt/backn9/backdeb/backupalluserdeb.sh: line155: unzip: not found

grep: Root/home/user/.package-manager/installed-packages.backup: No such file or directory

Prepare For List Of Packages ... Done

Backuping The List Of packages to /MyDocs/BackupN9/ ... Done

Start Backuping in 2s ...

End

Edit 2: Also if you are wondering, I do have binutils installed due to BackDeb :D

Re: [Announce] BackDeb : a Script for Backup Debian Package Installed With Dpkg ( Update 9/6/2012 )

Nope thats the thing it says:

Code:

# apt-get install unzip

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package unzip is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package unzip has no installation candidate

Could you share unzip then? :D
