Dear sir.....
We are a group of students, who are trying to search how a
package installer software works in GNU/LINUX system
We are trying to create a new File Hierarchy System for
every package that is going to be installed. That is , instead of installing
files under /bin, /usr, /etc etc as contained in the Zipped file, we would
like to have them installed as.
/package/bin
/package/usr
/package/etc and so on, where package is the package that
is getting installed.
Could you please provide us some clue as to
which source file would be the one that needs to be amended?...
We tried dpkg_1.15.8.4ubuntu3.1.tar.bz2 and
we trying to understand the contents of a dpkg_1.15.8.4ubuntu3.1.tar.bz2 's
src/processarc.c. Are we doing it the right way?.
We find there are different packages dpkg-deb
and dpkg. we identified that dpkg-deb packs, unpacks and provides
information about Debian archives. dpkg to install and remove packaged from
the system.
should we be trying an dpkg or should it be
dpkg-deb?...
If it is dpkg, which file(s) are responsible
for installing the archived files of a package?....
looking for your very valuable information.....
