| | Occasionally a user may wish to import a single package (*.deb file) from outside the standard Debian or Ubuntu repositories. This can be accomplished with the ''sce-deb2sce'' command, a small script not part of a base dCore install. To obtain and use ''sce-deb2sce'' download the desired *.deb file and run: |
| | sce-import -o sce-deb2sce |
| | sce-load sce-deb2sce |
| | sce-deb2sce <DEB-file> |

| Occasionally a user may wish to import a single package ('*.deb' file) from outside the standard Debian or Ubuntu repository. This can be accomplished with the ''sce-deb2sce'' command. It's a small script not part of a standard dCore installation. To obtain, simply download it from the dCore repository and load it for use: | |
| <code> | |
| sce-import -o sce-deb2sce | |
| sce-load sce-deb2sce | |
| </code> | |
| |
| Usage: | The new SCE can then be loaded for use, run: |
| <code> | sce-load /path/to/file/my_new.sce |
| sudo sce-deb2sce <DEB-file> | |
| </code> | |
| |
| Similar to running ''sce-import'', an SCE is created, but it remains in the current working directory. | Alternatively move 'my_new.sce' and 'my_new.sce.md5.txt' to /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/ so it is recognized by the system. Then either add the newly created SCE to sceboot.lst, OnDemand or manually load using ''sce-load''. To add the SCE to OnDemand, review the [[dCore:sce-ondemand_command|dCore sce-ondemand Command]]. |
| |
| Since all SCEs now require a proper md5sum file to load, this should be created: | Note *.deb file names usually contain the version number, which may be helpful to keep, even though a more generic extension name may be desired. This can be achieved, for example, by moving the newly created version number SCE file (eg. my_new_2.5.3-3_i386.sce) to /tce/import/debs/ with a generic name symbolic link in /tce/sce (eg. my_new.sce). |
| <code> | |
| md5sum my_new.sce > my_new.sce.md5.txt | |
| </code> | |
| |
| The new SCE can then be loaded for use by running: | Usage options from the 'sce-deb2sce --help' command: |
| <code> | sce-deb2sce - Convert a single Debian package (*.deb file) into an SCE. |
| sce-load /path/to/file/my_new.sce | Useful to import a *.deb file not present in dCore's existing |
| </code> | Debian or Ubuntu repositories. Resulting *.sce and *.sce.md5.txt |
| | files can be moved into /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/ to be |
| Or move 'my_new.sce' and 'my_new.sce.md5.txt' to /tce/sce/ so it's recognized by ''sce-load''. | recognized by the system. |
| <code> | |
| sce-load # Load my_new.sce from menu | The SCE and any dependency SCE(s) required to run the software |
| sce-load my_new.sce # Direct loading method | must be loaded with sceboot.lst, sce-ondemand or sce-load. If |
| </code> | numerous dependencies are required, importing them as a |
| | list file may be easiest, see sce-import --help. |
| Note '*.deb' file names usually contain the version number, which may be helpful to keep, even though a more generic extension name may be desired. This can be achieved, for example, by moving the newly created version number SCE file (eg. my_new_2.5.3-3_i386.sce) to /tce/import/debs/ with a generic name symbolic link in /tce/sce (eg. my_new.sce). | |
| | Usage: |
| Notice, the script may require tune-up, for anyone willing to submit a patch: | |
| *An md5sum file should be auto-generated. | sce-deb2sce debian_package.deb Convert specified *.deb file into an SCE. |
| *Query whether sudo should be needed to run script. | |
| *Resulting *.sce is owned by root:root, not the usual $USER:staff. | |
| *Would be nice if script requested permission to copy SCE to /tce/sce. | |
| *During testing the script did not create a working SCE (suckless-tools_40-1_i386.deb). | |
