  • How to Extract a Deb Package on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint Linux and Other Non Debian Based Distributions
    ? Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computers, Freedom Free Software GNU Linux, FreeBSD, Unix, Windows, Mac OS - Hacks, Goodies, Tips and Tricks and The True Meaning of life http://www.pc-freak.net/blog How to extract a deb package on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint Linux and other non debian based distributions Author : admin How to extract a deb package? Have you ever had a debian .deb package which contains image files you need, but the dependencies doesn't allow you to install it on your Debian / Ubuntu / Mint Linux release? I had just recently downloaded the ultimate-edition-themes latest release v 0.0.7 a large pack of GNOME Themes and wanted to install it on my Debian Stretch Linux but I faced problems because of dependencies when trying to install with dpkg. That is why I took another appoarch and decided to only extract the necessery themes from the archive only with dpkg. Here is how I have extracted ultimate-edition-themes-.0.0.7_all.deb ; dpkg -x ultimate-edition-themes-.0.0.7_all.deb /tmp/ultimate-edition-themes 1 / 3 ? Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computers, Freedom Free Software GNU Linux, FreeBSD, Unix, Windows, Mac OS - Hacks, Goodies, Tips and Tricks and The True Meaning of life http://www.pc-freak.net/blog So how dpkg extracts the .deb file? Debian .deb packages are a regular more in Wikipedia - Unix archive files (ar) . The structure of a deb file consists of another 3 files (2 tar.gzs and one binary) as follows: debian-binary: regular text file, contains the version of the deb package format control.tar.gz: compressed file, contains file md5sums and control directory for the deb package data.tar.gz: compressed file, contains all the files which will be installed Basicly if you're on a Linux distribution that lacks dpkg you can easily extract .deb binary using GNU AR command (used to create, modify extract Unix ar files and is the GNU / Linux equivallent of the UNIX ar command).

  • Idiomatic and Reproducible Software Builds Using Containers for Reliable Computing
    Master’s Thesis Idiomatic and Reproducible Software Builds using Containers for Reliable Computing Jonas Weber April 18, 2016 arXiv:1702.02999v1 [cs.SE] 9 Feb 2017 Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg Faculty of Engineering Department of Computer Science Bioinformatics Eingereichte Masterarbeit gemäß den Bestimmungen der Prüfungsordnung der Albert-Ludwidgs-Universität Freiburg für den Studiengang Master of Science (M.Sc.) Informatik vom 19. August 2005. Bearbeitungszeitraum 12. Januar 2016 - 12. Juli 2016 Gutachter Prof. Dr. Rolf Backofen Head of the Group Chair for Bioinformatics Zweitgutachter Prof. Dr. Christoph Scholl Director Chair of Operating Systems Betreuer Dr. Björn Grüning Abstract Containers as the unit of application delivery are the ‘next big thing’ in the software development world. They enable developers to create an executable image containing an application bundled with all its dependencies which a user can run inside a controlled environment with virtualized resources. Complex workflows for business-critical applications and research environments require a high degree of reproducibility which can be accomplished using uniquely identified images as units of computation. It will be shown in this thesis that the most widely used approaches to create an image from pre-existing software or from source code lack the ability to provide idiomaticity in their use of the technology as well as proper reproducibility safe-guards. In the first part, existing approaches are formalized and discussed and a new approach is introduced. The approaches are then evaluated using a suite of three different examples. This thesis provides a framework for formalizing operations involving a layered file system, containers and images, and a novel approach to the creation of images using utility containers and layer donning fulfilling the idiomaticity and reproducibility criteria.
