cerita sehari-hari seorang Adi Nugroho

Assalamualaikum,
Pasti banyak yang pengen merubah .tar.gz menjadi .deb ya? . Artikel ini saya buat karena ada dialog di timeline kang @onnowpurbo sama kang @kompi417

@onnowpurbo: wah saya juga belum pernah bikin hehe RT @kompi417: @onnowpurbo kang artikel ttg remastering atau conversi paket .tar.gz ke .deb sy bisa dap

Jawabannya, anda bisa menggunakan aplikasi checkinstall.

checkinstall is a program that monitors an installation procedure (such
as make install, install.sh ), and creates a standard package for your
distribution (currently deb, rpm and tgz packages are supported) that
you can install through your distribution’s package management system
(dpkg, rpm or installpkg).

Pertama install dulu checkinstall

root@batik# apt-get install checkinstall

Lalu misal kita ingin merubah traceroute-2.0.18.tar.gz menjadi .deb. Download dulu

root@batik# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/traceroute/traceroute-2.0.18.tar.gz

Setelah didownload mari kita extract filenya

root@batik# tar -zxvf traceroute-2.0.18.tar.gz

Lalu masuk ke folder traceroute-2.0.18

root@batik# cd traceroute-2.0.18

Kita make dulu

root@batik# make

Setelah itu baru jalanin checkinstallnya. Enter-enter terus saja jika ada dialog/pertanyaan.

root@batik# checkinstall -D make install
