I recently started building Ubuntu packages for my software on Launchpad. They are pretty simple; most of them just contain some files and scripts that are trigged through the .install .preinst .postinst .prerm and .postrm files. Installation and removing seems to work OK. However, upgrading from one version to the next is tricky.
What exactly happens when a package is being upgraded?
I have a single python script that I want to distribute as a deb package. It is a indicator which shows local date in Unity panel. I did follow create a .deb Package from scripts or binaries but I couldnot create a deb package because it fails. Can someone give me a step-by-step instruction on what I should do? As far as I know this script depends on python-appindicator.
I wrote a series of scripts to make package management a little more intuitive for me. However, I can no longer tab complete for package names. Is there a way I can forward the results of a tab completion to a script?
Sample- package-install:
#!/bin/bash
apt-get install $*
I have to admit. I'm really green when it comes to package creation.
Anyway, I created a package skeleton with dh_make.
I want to store a file in the package and have it copy over after the install of the package (or at any point during the install, doesn't matter).
I need the package rar. But I get this error whenever I try to install it:
Reading package Lists... Done
Building dependency tree

I am newbie at freebsd packaging and I want to learn way of upgrade a package. I created a package on my development server and I installed it to test server by
pkg_add foo-1.0.tbz
then I changed version of package as 1.1 .
In my freebsd test server there is only pkg-config, pkg_add, pkg_create, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_updating, pkg_version commands.
I recently got an error while apt-get updating.
Exec format error : package failed to install/remove : installation/removal script returned error exit status 2
This was caused by a broken package, broken by a system crash while updating.
Here are two easy ways to fix it:
Can someone please help me understand the rpm command.
Hi. Let's say that we have a variable called a and that we export it the terminal something like this : export package=tree; After that we have a script that does something( it doesn't matter in this problem) , and during the script i modified the varible package like thie:
package=1. But when i return to the terminal and i do a echo package, it remains the same: package=tree.
