Arch Linux User Repository

Thank you. That solved the issue. I was able to create an Arch package for the deb packaged driver ... no errors encountered during the debtap process. However when I tried to install the newly created Arch package I get the falling error: sudo pacman -U cndrvcups-common-4.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
loading packages... resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "cupsys", a dependency of "cndrvcups-common" warning: cannot resolve "gs-esp", a dependency of "cndrvcups-common" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: cndrvcups-common

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] Is this in anyway related to the debtap conversion process?

debtap officially supports only Arch. If you want to use it with an Arch derivative, comment the extra repos of your distro in /etc/pacman.conf, then synchronize debtap, then uncomment those repos.

Tried to use debtap and encountered this problem: debtap cndrvcups-common_4.10-1_amd64.deb
Error: You must run at least once "debtap -u" with root privileges (preferably recently), before running this script

sudo debtap -u

Synchronization failed. Exiting...

Need assistance in getting this to work.

@oriba thanks for the help

@MannyGT911, please see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg https://wiki.archlinux.org/

I'm a new to arch linux, how would one install this package (its not showing up in pacman).

@sgon00

sudo pacman -Rs debtap && sudo rm -rf /var/cache/debtap (as normal user)

or

pacman -Rs debtap && rm -rf /var/cache/debtap (as root)

Can anyone tell me how to properly uninstall this package? I thought yaourt -Rs debtap will take care of everything until I found out there was 1.2GB files in /var/cache/debtap/. This is crazy. Linux really needs a good way to uninstall programs...

hello, just in case it's useful : to adapt ultracopier_1.4.0.3-1_amd64.deb, I had to change the script /us/bin/debtap in line 148 from :

ar p "$package_with_full_path" control.tar.gz | tar xz to ar p "$package_with_full_path" control.tar.xz | tar -Jx

that's all folks
