Title: Help for Make a extensions !!!
Post by: xtxb on December 03, 2017, 09:51:26 PM

I need to make a TCZ of an RPM package, but there is no source code for this software. Is there any way?
 Thanks！

Try:

Code: [Select]

EXT=somerpm
mkdir /tmp/$EXT/TCZ
cd /tmp/$EXT/TCZ
rpm2cpio $EXT.rpm | cpio -i -H newc -d
cd /tmp/$EXT
mksquashfs $EXT $EXT.tcz -noappend

If your rpm is open source software, the source code should exist somewhere.

Note that you may have problems with shared library compatibility when using an rpm from a different distro on tinycore.

I've had the best luck using RPM's for SLES.
