Best way to install .deb package in Slackware?
 
Hello,
I've bought the latest Humble Bundle recently and one of the games is distributed only as a .deb file.

Whats the correct way to install this in Slackware?

sycamorex 10-12-2011 03:35 AM
You could use the deb2tgz tool to convert it.

fgcl2k 10-12-2011 03:42 AM
You could try using 'alien' to convert the package.

http://www.slacky.eu/asche/pkgs/index.php?ver=15&pkg=38

You can also extract directly the contents of the deb file with 'ar'.

D1ver 10-12-2011 03:55 AM
Thanks guys,
deb2pkg did the job very easily. Now I can play Space Chem :)

I've used gnashley's src2pkg utility to create slackware packages from .deb source files. I highly recommend src2pkg. :)

Best way to install .deb package in Slackware?

I think the title is misleading, it should have been "install xyz.deb package in Slackware?".

As a general rule, one should not just install a package that was meant for another distribution if not in an emergency and if no other solutions exist. It's better to find the source and build a package with slackbuilds.

D1ver 10-12-2011 05:51 PM
@Hitest: Thanks! I already had src2pkg installed but I didn't think to check if could do the job. I assumed it was just for source archives.

@ottavio: I know it's generally a poor way to install software, but I was trying to install a closed source Linux game which was only distributed as a .deb package.

D1ver, HumbleBundle too?

BTW, you can manually make a Slack package out of most .deb files and it is not really complicated. .debs have one particular file you should be interested in: data.tar.gz. They keep their doinst.sh in another file called control.tar.gz which you should inspect and, if needed, incorporate into a post-install script.

In the case of SpaceChem, you can do the following:
Code:
mkdir -p work/pkg
cd work
ar -x /path/to/SpaceChem-i386.deb
cd pkg
tar xvf ../data.tar.gz
Then, as root, you run makepkg in the work/pkg directory, like
makepkg -l y -c n /tmp/SpaceChem-i386.txz

src2pkg with .deb source

Following the advice in this thread, I've installed src2pkg, but I can't seem to find any examples to convert a .deb to a Slackware package. It is as simple as `src2pkg xyz.deb`? I hesitate to experiment w/o some guidance.

bonixavier solution looks simple enough, but now that I've gone through the effort to install src2pkg I'd like to try it.

bassmadrigal 01-28-2017 09:37 AM
mfoley, I have little experience with src2pkg, but there is a simple utility out there called deb2tgz that will do what it says, convert a .deb package to a Slackware tgz package (they also have deb2txz if you'd rather have the increased compression).

https://github.com/jbarrett/deb2tgz

mfoley 01-28-2017 10:36 AM
OK, I'll try deb2tgz. But, sorry to be a complete idiot, the link I found to download this is https://sourceforge.net/projects/deb2tgz/. However, I cannot find a link or button anywhere on that page to dowwnload it. Can you straighten me out?

Later ... never mind this post. After more searching I found it at SlackBuilds. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on this particular .deb file :(

Didier Spaier 01-28-2017 10:41 AM
Why not follow the link bassmadrigal gave you?

bassmadrigal 01-28-2017 10:42 AM
Just clone the repo I linked to and run the SlackBuild. It will produce a deb2tgz package that you can then install.

Code:
git clone https://github.com/jbarrett/deb2tgz.git
cd deb2tgz
sh deb2tgz.SlackBuild
installpkg /tmp/deb2tgz*

Hi,

Reanimating this old thread...

As long as the deb package is using same system libs & toolchain as your running Slackware : the best way to create a perfect Slackware package from a deb package : is using Zenwalk's "SlackBuild" tool.

All the best

Searching for symbolic links:

No symbolic links were found, so we won't make an installation script.
You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
package if you like.

This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!

Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n

Very interesting !

Where does one find Zenwalk's SlackBuild tool ?

Thanks
