I'm trying to package Apache Tomcat binary tarball into a RPM package on CentOS 5.5. The idea is to package the tarball, extract it into /usr/local/, create a tomcat user, change permission on the /usr/local/tomcat install dir, copy the init startup script to /etc/init.d/
Since it's a binary/pre-compiled package, I don't need to compile the source codes.
where I can get a binary package for Kdevelop 3.5.5?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have this source.tar.gz, I unpack it and cd into it, then I
Code:
$mkdir build
$./configure --lots-of-options --prefix=$PWD/build
$make
$make install
So I have inside my build folder, 4 folders, usr, lib, man, share. How do I convert this into a binary rpm package...?
I know there's a which command, that echoes the full name of a binary (e.g. which sh). However, I'm fairly sure there's a command that echoes the package that provides a particular binary. Is there such a command? If so, what is it? I'd like to be able to run this:
commandName ls and get coreutils for example.
I have a weird/stupid question. How do you know what command would start an application after installing it, if the synaptic package name doesn't match?
For example google chrome and lmsensors. The first appears as Chrome in Synaptic and the second as lmsensors, but to run them you have to type google-chrome for the first and sensors for the second in the console to start them.
When I did locate sensors or locate chrome/chromium, nothing came up in the search that would hint me that I need to run those commands. I had to rely on a google search and look for someone else's answer. Is there a better way, one that I can figure it out on my own?
Is there any Linux utility to combine two or more binary files into a single binary file ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an upstream source tarball which, by coincidence, already contains a directory named "debian", but which has nothing to do with the "debian" directory for packaging. Assume also that renaming this directory would be difficult, for example because many other parts of the code would need to be modified. On an rpm based system, this poses no problem to the packager, since the rpm build process is driven by an external spec file and never has to modify the original source. What would be the best way to package this on a debian system? Is it absolutely necessary to rename the original "debian" directory? Or can I make the dpkg build tools operate out of a different directory?

I have a large tarball which is bz2 compressed, and I would like to get a md5 sum of the files contained in it, as I have a separate directory on another server containing what I think are the same files. I want to check to see if the tarballs files are the same as the uncompressed files on the remote server. The files are big 10gb+ so I was wondering if there was a quick way without having to uncompress them all and then md5 them.

I recently downloaded a tarball which contains a .src file for a program to convert .ttf fonts to .cxf fonts for use in Qcad drawings. how to compile and install this program in linuxmint 9 or ubuntu lucid. What I downloaded from the ribbonsoft.com website is a tarball called ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src.tar.gz. It contains a directory /ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src, which contains three files: main.cpp, Makefile, and ttf2cxf. I can post the contents of these files. This is not a high priority problem but i have been messing around with this for a while and have made no progress.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there an "easy" explanation somewhere in the forum about how to install programs which are in tarball form?

I understand I'll also need some developer packages to compile tarballs however I don't know which ones. The last time I unsuccessfully tried to work with tarballs was when openSUSE 9.x was current.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to back up my system to a tarball for quite a while now. I recently bought a tape drive, and it works. But I'm having a little bit of trouble getting tar to work--whenever I try to copy the files (either directly to the drive at /dev/st0 or to a tarball), I end up with a "file changed as we read it" error, and tar quits before the archive is done. Is there some way I can either prevent this from happening and/or tell tar to just skip that file and keep the job going?

$ cd /home

With tar, it is possible to back up your desktop system like so (probably best done from runlevel 1 or a live medium):
# cd / # or wherever your root directory is mounted
# tar --exclude=dev/* --exclude=proc/* --exclude=sys/* --exclude=tmp/* --exclude=backup.tar.gz -czvpf backup.tar.gz .

Prior to installing F11, I used fwbackups to archive some data to a bzip2 tarball. The archiving and compression went just fine. When I attempt to decompress the archive bunzip2 chokes with the following error:
Code:
bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bunzip2: No such file or directory
Input file = Backup-stuff-archive-2009-06-14_01-00.tar.bz2, output file = Backup-stuff-archive-2009-06-14_01-00.tar
It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. bunzip2: Deleting output file Backup-stuff-archive-2009-06-14_01-00.tar, if it exists. Now I'm fairly sure that the problem is a couple of zero length files (dead pipes or the like) have been included in the tarball and it seems that GNU tar and allied tools are braindamaged when it comes to zero length files in an archive, treating them as end of file markers. I've had this issue with a gzipped tarball. Alas bzip2recover is not an option as the archive is 106.1 gigabytes in size (I know, I know) and to handle a file of this size it requires recompiling.
Googling for an answer returns grim news. It seems that tarballs like this are forever borked. I was wondering if any of the gurus here can offer some advice. Can my poor Shrek of a tarball be salvaged or is he a hopeless case? The lesson I have learned is not to create HUGE archives. Also using tools like tar and bzip (or even gzip) may not the best idea when archiving/backing up.
I've read a few other threads about installing tarballs and just about all of them mention running the ./configure script. BTW, I'm working on a machine without internet connection and I'm using karmic. I successfully extracted the contents of the tarball and a directory of those contents was created. I navigated into that directory and tried "sudo ./configure" as per some instructions I found on the net, but the result was "bash:./configure: no such file or directory".
I get this same error message when I try "./configure --help | less" Is "./configure" something that is meant to come as part of the OS or do I need to install that separately too!?! when I try to create a keyboard short cut for opening a terminal by using the "keyboard shortcuts" option in system > preferences the setting lists it as "disabled". Is there some way for enabling? I know how to get to a complete screen terminal by using ctrl+alt+f2 but I also want a shortcut for other terminal box which is accessible via the applications area.
I have a script - called 'backit' - to back up files to a tarball - listed below (<backup.lst> contains files I want backed up)
#!/bin/bash
# 22/7/2010
# Backup important files
cd ~
tar cvfz .backup/backup.tar.gz -T .backup/backup.lst
cp .backup/backup.tar.gz /media/Archive/.backup
Typing 'Backit' in the shell works very well producing a backup file, <backup.tar.gz>, of 2 298 953 bytes and contains all the correct files. So far, so good! I put a line in crontab - /home/alan/bin/backit
The program runs every hour on the hour and produces the <backup.tar.gz> file. However, this file contains only some of the files and has a size of 76 762 bytes. Using "tar tvf backup.tar.gz" lists some of the files and ends with an error indicating an EOF encountered before the end of file. If the script executes correctly when typed into the shell, why does it not run to completion correctly when run by cron?
