.deb and .rpm, just archives X E.

Posted 06-04-2024 at 10:49 AM by maybeJosiah

For making programs for Linux, install some language or framework and work in that. .deb and .rpm files are archives. To make one you need an independent working program or script in a framework. There is no programming framework for .rpm or .deb except those installed on system which is either not existent if you chose a language that does not come installed and did not install it, or like you can make C and Python things by compiling using built in tools. Either way, you need a compiler or interpretter...

On Linux there are ways to set changed at time and created at time for files. For example:
xfs_db -c "inode <inode_number>" -c "chattr <new_change_attribute>" /dev/<device_name>

That is for chaned at on XFS.
BTRFS:
chattr --ctime="2022-01-01 12:00:00" filename
ZFS:
zfs set creation=2022-01-01T00:00:00 pool/dataset/file

Test this before large scale but these things may do setting changed...

Tags linux, time, timestamps

All Linux has changed time AKA ctime, access time AKA atime, and modified time AKA mtime. Some Linux also has created time/birth time AKA crtime. Like universally all these may be accessed via "stat" with Bash. You may read "stat --help" in your terminal for more specific information. Changed time is last time metadata changed, and others are self explanatory. On some distros "crtime" may be replaced by "btime" and/or "ctime" may be replaved by "chgtime"....
