I just checked something into cvs. it's in tools/udpkg
It's really still very incomplete. It "supports deps" right now only in the
sense that it will check dependencies against installed/to-be-installed-with-
same-command packages. it doesn't do any of the ordering stuff yet,
although the hooks are there. Dependency checking can be turned off
completely at compile time as well.
As I mentioned above, it's still very incomplete. Feel free to
contribute changes, etc. I am exploring how to best handle the files
that go into /var/lib/dpkg/info/ .... in particular the list file is
ugly... i'm thinking of doing something like (+ error checking, etc):
FILE *infp, *outfp;
char buf[MAXLEN];
char *p;
infp = popen("ar p foobar.deb control.tar.gz | zcat | tar -tf -");
outfp = fopen("/var/lib/dpkg/info/foobar.list");
while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), inp) && !feof(inp))
{
p = buf; if (*p == '.') p++;
fputs(p, outp);
}
fclose(outfp);
pclose(infp);
Gross....
