Notes on installing 'local' PupGet files
You can use
PupGet package manager to get the files but they can also be downloaded from
here∞ with any web browser or FTP program (
alternative download site∞).
Steps:
- Download the package to somewhere local (e.g, /root)
- Open Pupget package manager, you should now see
the right pane -> click "OK".
- When asked where do you want to have the package downloaded, choose 'Local'. Then choose the location where your package is saved (e.g. /root). The installation will then begin.
You may need to create an entry in
/root/.packages/packages.txt if it's a newly published package that's
not listed in your PupGet package manager. E.g, add:

<b>Faster way to register a DotPup (provided by JonathanMarsden):</b><br><br>
<p>It is a good idea to have your dotpup.sh register your package with the PupGet package manager as an alien package. Doing this requires the script to do two things:</p>
<li>Generate a list of all files contained in your package, in <code>/root/.packages/<em>PACKAGENAME</em>.files</code></li>
<li>Add a one line entry to the list of alien packages in <code>/root/.packages/alienpackages.txt</code> in the appropriate format
<p>Fortunately, much of this can be done using an enhanced dotpup.sh template which generates the file list from the <code>dotpup.tar.gz</code> file, and adds the relevant line to <code>alienpackages.txt</code>. Here is an example:</p>
<code>
#!/bin/sh<br>
#<br>
# Generic dotpup.sh file<br><br>
PUPNAME="joe"<br>
PUPVERSION="3.3"<br>
PUPINFO="Joe's Own Editor $PUPVERSION: A Free ASCII-Text Screen Editor"<br>
PUPGETINFO="CONSAPPS 1695K"<br><br>
# Untar the tarball<br>
tar -zx --no-same-owner -C / -f dotpup.tar.gz<br><br>
# Register with PupGet as an alien package<br>
tar ztf dotpup.tar.gz >/root/.packages/${PUPNAME}-${PUPVERSION}.files<br><br>
echo "\"${PUPNAME}-${PUPVERSION}\" \"${PUPNAME}-${PUPVERSION}: ${PUPINFO}\" on \"${PUPGETINFO}\" \\" \<br>
/root/.packages/alienpackages.txt<br>
</code>
<p>By editing just the four settings at the top of the file - PUPNAME, PUPVERSION, PUPINFO and PUPGETINFO - this dotpup.sh template will correctly register many packages.<p>

How to install or uninstall a PupGet package
|
To install a package:
- Go to Start -> Setup -> PupGet package
manager
- When a window pops up, choose "Install
or remove pkgs", then you'll see a two-pane window
- Left pane shows a list of packages to install. They're
"left overs" of that 319 package collection (packages from Unleashed
that never made it into the live-CD, that is, are not in usr_cram.fs)
- Hover mouse pointer over a package for extra
information ("category" or "group" of it and how big it is)
- Click on a package to highlight it -> click on the
"Add" button -> highlighted package moves to the right pane
-> click "OK" -> the package will be downloaded
and installed.
To uninstall an installed
package:
- Any packages that you have previously installed will
already be in the right pane
- Highlight it -> click "Remove" -> it will
move to the left side -> click "OK" to uninstall.
Notes on installing 'local' PupGet files:
You can use PupGet package manager to get the files but they can also be downloaded from here with any web browser or FTP program (alternative download site).
Steps:
- Download the package to somewhere local (e.g, /root)
- Open Pupget package manager, you should now see
the entry you added on the left pane. Click on the package to highlight
it -> click on the "Add" button -> highlighted package moves to
the right pane -> click "OK".
- When asked where do you want to have the
package downloaded, choose 'Local'. Then choose the location where your package is saved (e.g. /root). The installation will then begin.
You may need to create an entry in
/root/.packages/packages.txt if it's a newly published package that's
not listed in your PupGet package manager. E.g, add:
"abiword-2.2.7" "abiword-2.2.7: Wordprocessor" on "GTK2APPS 7960K" \
where 'abiword-2.2.7' should be the name of the file that you downloaded and '7960K' is the size of the file.

How to register any arbitrary package with PupGet
|
Here is some basic concept about PupGet. To start go to the /root/.packages directory and then follow the steps below.
- Create an entry in "alienpackages.txt" for your package
Eg, say that you installed a package called "Torsmo", that is a single executable that installs into /usr/local/bin. and maybe an icon into /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/.
You can put into "alienpackages.txt":
"torsmo-1.0" "torsmo-1.O: system monitor utility" on "XLIBAPPS 56K" \
Remember to add " \" on the end, that is, a space followed by a back-slash. You should also press the ENTER key on the end of the last line of the file, so that the cursor is on a new line, but do not put any blank lines.
A script to do so:
echo '"torsmo-1.0" "torsmo-1.O: system monitor utility" on "XLIBAPPS 56K" \' >> /root/.packages/alienpackages.txt
-
Create a list of the installed files
Here is what you would put into file "torsmo-1.0.files":
/usr/local/bin/torsmo
/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/torsmo.xpm
A script to do so:
echo '/usr/local/bin/torsmo' > /root/.packages/torsmo-1.0.files
echo '/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/torsmo.xpm' >> /root/.packages/torsmo-1.0.files
