trying to search how a package installer software works in GNU/LINUX system....
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.....
