[pekka.siitoin@pp.inet.fi: Vs: Easy way to make a packages.gz file?]

[homega]

Now, could anyone from the Debian-user list tell me what's going on with this?
I posted a reply to someone's on the debian-user's list, and I get this
message to my private address with a 3.4MB!!! time wasting attached file.

I don't care whether he's a nazi, a communist, or else, nor do I care
for politics other than my home country's (just the bit that concerns me). 

If this guy wants to be removed from the list, and keep climbing up trees,
could anyone make him happy seen that his capabilities are not that good as
to unsubscribe by himself?

Thank you.

I'm not sure about this, though I believe .deb files are actually files
which are already archived and compressed (sort of .tgz's with a debian
installation script?).  If that's so, it should be possible archiving a
directory with .deb's (tar), but how about compressing it?

If you just want dselect to install from that directory, you don't actually
need a packages.gz file - when dselect asks you where the Packages file is,
tell it to `scan'.


Not sure if that's what you were after.

We'll know the future has arrived when every mailer transparently
quotes lines that begin with "From ", but no-one remembers why.

dpkg-scanpackages -- read its man page.

Easy way to make a packages.gz file?

[Becher, Andrew]

Assuming I have a directory with many .deb files, is there an easy way to
generate a packages.gz file for this directory?
