deb package is a debian installation package. It is ar archive of three files, one version information file, and two tar.gz archives containing control scripts used for installation, and the actual program/data to be installed. For more inforation see man deb.Jan Patera wrote:Could you please briefly describe properties of the .deb files?
Is it something like header+tar+bzip2?
If so, we could add support to the untar plugin which already handles
RPM packages which have this concept.
As tar.gz is already supported by the tar plugin, support of deb files means simply adding ar support and putting it all together. This is already planned, but I am still missing the time to actually do it.
