Debtap - A script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages

I wrote this script in my free time to help people who, for any reason, want to convert a .deb to an Arch Linux package. It works in a similar way with alien (which converts .deb packages to .rpm packages and vice versa), but, unlike alien, it is focused on accuracy of conversion, trying to translate Debian/Ubuntu packages names to the correct Arch Linux packages names and store them in the dependencies fields of the .PKGINFO metadata in the final package. In other words, it won't only create an Arch package with the data of the original .deb package, but also it will try to create a valid and as accurate as possible .PKGINFO metadata file in the converted package. It uses pkgfile and pacman utilities to achieve this accuracy. The final package can be installed like any local Arch Linux package. Debtap is now available on AUR!
FAQ
Q: What "debtap" stands for?
A: DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?
A: Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?
A: No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?
A: You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, and fakeroot. You must run at least once (preferably recently) "debtap -u" to create/update pkgfile and debtap database (you do this with root privileges).
Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?
A: Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpack a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?
A: Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons,  the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
Q: How do I use debtap?
A: The syntax is quite simple actually: debtap [option] package_filename
For example: debtap world-of-goo-demo_1.0_i386.deb
Any recommendations or questions for debtap are welcomed!

  • Remakepkg - Convert installed packages back into installable archives

    This is a script to convert a package that has already been installed, back into an installable package file. It takes modified files (as reported by pacman -Qqkk) into account, and will regenerate the mtree entries corresponding to those files, if the original package had an mtree.
    I've been searching for an utility like this, and didn't find it. If I am entirely mistaken and such a thing does already exist, please point me in its direction. Thank you!
    Why would I possibly want this?
    The creation of this script was inspired by 2 incidents.
    1. wine-silverlight takes about 2 hours to build from AUR on my desktop computer. The package file was automatically deleted after installation. And then I realised, my netbook has the same architecture, but the package file was already gone, so I had to build it again.
    2. While troubleshooting an issue with font rendering, I had to flip between freetype2-infinality and freetype2 a few times to isolate the problem. It would have been nice if I only had to build freetype2-infinality from AUR once.
    Limitations
    This script is unable to guess information that is not present pacman's local database. For example, the .PKGINFO file produced by the script will not have any makepkgopt entries.
    I also do not have a perfect understanding of pacman's package format, and you may encounter errors resulting from omissions or misunderstandings on my part, or changes to pacman.
    Well, that's everything. I hope this helps someone!

    I just edit /etc/makepkg.conf and set the PKGDEST variable.
    This way I always have a copy of my built packages in case I need to reinstall or use on a different machine.
    Only issue with that is that the config files will be default. By using remakepkg or bacman it takes the existing config file and rolls it into the package.
    **EDIT** Well actually, thats because I elect to have pacman ditch the config files whenever I remove something. I usually remove something with -Rcsn options a pay close attention to what it says it will remove..

  • Using deb packages after converting with deb2targz - how to?

    I've been trying to install "insight", an IDE for assembly language, which is available in the AUR, but there are problems with the AUR package (mainly with the source from Redhat and  my version of gcc, I believe).  So, I thought a DEB package would be easier, and after googling about it, I found that I needed to use deb2targz to convert the DEB for use in Arch.  But I couldn't find any instructions on how to use deb2targz.
    I deb2targz'd the deb file in my home directory and then did "tar xzvf insight_6.8.1-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines1_i386".
    I thought this would create a subdirectory with a PKGBUILD, but that was newbish wishful thinking.
    The tar command created a ~/usr directory with subdirectories: ~/usr/bin, ~/usr/lib, and ~/usr/share.
    Should I now try to make a PKGBUILD from these directories somehow? Do I compress them to xz and use that with pacman -U ?  Or am I supposed to simply copy the files/subdirectories to the corresponding directories in the root directory (ie, ~/usr/bin to /usr/bin)?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Scimmia wrote:
    forget deb2targz, it's pretty much useless for things like this.
    there are a number of examples on this forum of making PKDBUILDs for deb files, but it's not as fool proof as it sounds. You have to pay attention to what version of each lib the binary is linked against, as well as the actual name of the lib if they rename it. It's almost universally better to build from source if it's available.
    A quick look at the mailing list shows that the author suggests building from CVS right now instead of using the release which was in 2009. I'm doing a quick test right now to see how that goes.
    Thanks for looking into it.  I was using the *-1a version and the source that commentator "sl0t" suggested in his PKGBUILD - except I had problems with the parentheses and apostrophes on the install= line, so I used that line without paren. and apost's.

  • [SOLVED] Error with Wickr deb package

    Hi people, I was trying to running wickr on Arch Linux. (I am under Gnome), I used debtap utility, attempted to convert wickr deb package to work with pacman but failed with this dependency:
    warning: cannot resolve "libavutil52|libavutil54", a dependency of "wickr"
    :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: wickr: requires libavutil52|libavutil54
    I am pretty sure I have already got the libavutil-52 installed and does not help. I even managed to convert libavutil54 from debian and installed but still no progress.
    Any help? thx in advance.

    Hi sakuya16,
    the | character does not work as logical or inside the PKGBUILD, depends is an array of strings separated by withe spaces. Also you must specify only one version of libavutil and its name is libavutil-52 and not  libavutil52. For more information read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#depends
    --edit:
    Yeah, tomk is right, try to see if it works with the current libavutil.so.54 first.

  • Slackware TGZ to Arch Linux Package Converter

    I have two programs that interest me (LilyPond and Battle for Wesnoth) that don't have Arch Linux packages and compiling them would involve hunting everywhere for obscure dependencies (LilyPond in particular) so I just downloaded the Slackware packages, inspected them and found that by unzipping them onto the root folder (as superuser) and running the install script (if there is one) I can get them to run with minimal fuss.
    Has the idea of making a Slackware to Arch package converter been brought up before? Is there any problems with this? (Slackware is i386-optimised if I remember correctly, but I think it's still worth it since there is more Slackware packages than Arch Linux ones out there.)

    i3839 wrote:Flames?? Where? You sure you didn't misread something?
    Probably.
    Here's what I read, admitting that it doesn't seem quite as bad the second time around...:
    Oh? All I was hearing is that Arch already has enough packages, and that the devs are overloaded and almost down.
    "you don't know which way is up, you contradict yourself while continuing to ignore the problems and aren't fixing anything".
    Also getting custom packages into Arch's official repository seems a bit hard currently, not to mention that it's totally unclear how to do that (drop it in incomming and wait a year? Lotto?).
    "The system isn't working and you haven't done anything to try to fix it. I haven't read or noticed any of the threads illustrating that this topic has been argued to death and isn't going unnoticed"
    Maintaining packages is the most work, and every distro maintains the same packages over and over again. Tell me why to not use good, working packages from another sane distro?
    "The other distros are better."
    (Personally, I don't care if anybody likes another distro better, but if so, use it instead, don't talk about it)
    Changing GCC often gives the same problem as updating to new major libraries. Simply leave the old GCC libs or make a seperate package for them. Currently it's rather impossible in Arch to install new packages with an outdated system, if that's solved then it's also easy to use Slackware packages.
    "The Arch philosophy of keeping packages stable but up to date is just plain wrong.  I don't bother to pacman -Syu before I mention problems."
    Of course if would be best if there was a nice, good binary package standard that works on all distros, so that the application makers can make and maintain the packages themselves, but that's utopia (paths are too often hardcoded for instance).
    "hey, I do have some good ideas".
    It isn't a matter of being able to do something or not, it's a matter of convenience. All programs should be relative easy to compile from source, but that doesn't mean that everyone should compile all programs themselves.
    "There aren't enough Arch binaries to go around"
    OR:
    "ABS sucks"
    OR:
    "Hold my hand, I can't compile."
    OR:
    "I use Arch cause I don't like Gentoo". :-D 
    Yeah, some of that is a little (or quite, or even very) harsh, you can blame it on me rather than taking it to heart.
    As for the slackware packages issue, I'm personally not writing a script to convert them; I've never used slackware in my life. The idea has merit, but I get tired of people discussing pros and cons and not doing anything. I think that's because I'm about as bad as anyone on that front, possibly worse.

  • Installing a .deb package in Arch

    Maybe I'm becoming something uncool (xD), but I not could find a way to install/convert a package from a .deb to a pacman package. The thing is that we are talking about cedega an it is a .deb, then obviosly I don't have the code to make a PKGBUILD by myself (well, we have the CVS but I don't like it), so if anybody helps me I will be really grateful.

  • Need to convert DTS packages to SQL Server 2012 environment.

    Hi Friends,
    As Part of the Project Requirement,we need to convert DTS packages to SQL Server 2012 environment.
    Please sugest me best approach.
    Thanks

    Best approach is to re-design the packages in SSIS 2012 directy if it is feasible. Because most of the DTS feaures are discontinued and also you will have to clean up all errors that you are going to get after migration.
    Discontinued Integration Services Functionality in SQL Server 2012
    Otherwise you need to migrate it first to 2008R2 and then 2012 version.
    Below ones would be helpful for you:

  • Pacleanup: A script to clean up package bloat

    Hi all!
    Here is my first real contribution to the Arch community! w00t!
    Do you install packages just to try them out and never end up using them? Do you forget about them and do they just add to the bloat on your system? Do you want to review the packages installed on your system and remove the packages you don't need/want anymore? I do, so I wrote a small script to do just that.
    There may already be a better way to do this that I don't know of. If there is, please do let me know.
    Basically, the script goes through the packages marked as 'explicitly installed' and queries the user whether they want to keep or remove the packages. It does some basic dependency checking that will not remove a package if it is required by a package you want to keep. It stores a list of packages that you have previously selected to keep, so that you don't have to select them every time you run the script. An option to review the list of packages to remove is provided. It also, removes unused dependencies.
    After the script has done its stuff, pacman will display packages to be removed and it will prompt you to accept the changes to be made. So it is pretty safe. You won't end up removing critical packages unless you explicitly allow pacman to do so.
    Suggestions and corrections are most welcome!

    Thank you.
    If you mean to skip going through the selection of whether to keep or remove packages, there is an option. Inputting 'd' (for 'Done' ) will skip the rest of the selection process and go right to dependency checking.
    Did you mean something else?

    Are you editing this job in SQL 2012? Is it wrapping your paths in \"? Like for example does the command line tab on the step look like this:
    /FILE "\"D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsx\""  /CONFIGFILE "\"D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsConfig\"" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
    That's the problem I had, and I resolved it by recreating the whole thing via SQL Script and getting rid of all those \" things. I think that is preventing SSIS from looking up the precompiled binaries for your Script Task. So you should edit the command
    line manually:
    /FILE "D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsx"  /CONFIGFILE "D:\yourPathGoesHere.dtsConfig" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
    Please write back whether that helps you. David Dye's answer didn't help me at all.

  • Reg. Converting a package level cursor into a Ref cursor

    Hi Guru's,
    I am in need of converting a package level cursor which contains "FOR UPDATE OF" clause into a Ref cursor where the query will be dynamically built in with the needed table name and other parameters.
    Using that cursor many Update statement's were performed with "WHERE CURRENT OF" clause included in it.
    Now I changed my cursor into Ref cursor, but when i compile the cursor that is built dynamical is not identified, since i am getting error.
    Can any one tell me how to proceed in order to implement it?
    Do I need only go for dynamic bulding of the whole procedure.
    With Best Regards,
    Vijayasekaran.N

    May be you can work it around with ROWID. Like this
    Say this is your actual code.
    declare
         cursor c
         is
         select *
           from t
            for update of name;
         lno t.no%type;
         lname t.name%type;
    begin
         open c;
         loop
              fetch c into lno, lname;
              exit when c%notfound;
              update t set name = lno||lname
               where current of c;
         end loop;
         close c;
    end;
    /With refcursor you can do this.
    declare
         type rc is ref cursor;
         c rc;
         lno t.no%type;
         lname t.name%type;
         lrowid rowid;
    begin
         open c for 'select rowid rid, t.*
                   from t
                    for update of name';
         loop
              fetch c into lrowid,lno, lname;
              exit when c%notfound;
              update t set name = lno||lname
               where rowid = lrowid;
         end loop;
         close c;
    end;

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var paths = doc.pathItems;
    for ( var i = 0; i < paths.length; i++ ) {

  • Call a unix script from pl/sql package

    Hi,
    Using 11.2.0.3 on AIX.
    Is it possible to call unix script from pl/sql package?
    I am cretaing a file in a directory but would like this to automatically be written to an archive directory as well.
    Could either use 2 utl_file.put_lines to 2 separate directories or 1 utl_file and cal script to archive file in another directory.?
    Thoughts?
    Thanks

    What am I doing wrong?think how file name will look like:

    'FILE_NAME'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE
    file_name15/08/2012 11:47:51Will AIX swallow such name? Obviously not. And, unfortunately, UTL_FILE.FCOPY doesn't raise an error in such case. So use someting like:
    UTL_FILE.FCOPY ('SOURCE_DIR',v_FILE_NAME,'DEST_DIR',v_file_name||to_char(sysdate,'DD_MM_YYYY_HH24_MI_SS'));SY.
