apt-lua

A full port of Debian APT & dpkg to ComputerCraft Lua. WIP.

dpkg

Working features

• Unpack, configure, and remove packages with dpkg.lua
• View archive info and extract packages with dpkg-deb.lua
• Access the dpkg database with dpkg-query.lua
• Compatibility with standard Debian packages (compressed with gzip or xz)

Features not implemented yet

• Diversions (they exist on the filesystem but the actual diversion handling is not implemented)
• Available files
• Multi-architecture (due to craftos arch requirement)
• Changing install directories
• --set-selections switch in dpkg.lua

How to create a package that works with dpkg-lua

The process is mostly the same as making any normal Debian package, but the architecture has to be craftos or all.

1. Create a normal Debian package tree (e.g. debmake)
2. Add whatever files you need to the package
   • Note: maintainer scripts should be able to be run with shell.run
3. Set the architecture in debian/control to craftos or all
4. Build the package (e.g. debuild -us -uc)
5. Deploy package
