Hi
I am aware of the wiki and the guidelines post thankyou.
I am still new to TC.
I have successfully creating an tcz (locally) and tested locally but its real ugly for mods to validate my GPLness as I built it on a Debian system as I was unsuccessful working out various compiler issues on TC.
Did I forget to mention I am a script/compile novice? heh heh
2) So I am trying to be smarter and am now downloading in TC, a deb or 2 and running
dpkg-deb -x downloadfilename foldername
to unpack it.
Then I do things....sorry to be vague and follow the balance of the wiki to get
mksquashfs package new.tcz
3) Taking that new.tcz I then use root powers to
chown tc:staff new.tcz
chmod 744 new.tcz
su tc
tce-load -i new.tcz
Error is
mounting of /dev/loop(number) on /tmp/tcloop/new failed:invalid argument
4) As I have done a number of things before packaging the tcz.....is it possible to know what else I should do the any tcz creation like ownership and permissions Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I am deliberately not saying what the package is ....as its a bit new for TC....and may upset very good people here who wonder why I am nuts to offer such a package to tinycorers.
Forgive me
any help on what else to check would be appreciated.
BTW, the working tcz file....the one from a debian compile....installs ok and says it installs ok.
I have deliberately not created any "install" scripts as I am creating a wiki to guide users on that path and need their consent to be "nuts"
Naturally I am a persistent user so do not feel nuts all the time
thanks for reading and hope someone can understand me.

I think the dpkg-dev is a fine tool....I am not claiming any error in the folders unpacked by this tool
cheers
