Does anyone know how to browse .ipk-files with midnight commander (like .deb-files)? I found a thread here on how to display info on viewing, but I'd like to be able to open them like other archives. Adapting the .deb rules doesn't work, because .ipks are tar-files and .debs are ar archives. I could use the .tar.gz rule, but then I'd always have to open the data.tar.gz file separately. Any other solutions? Thanks.

Dont use MC so I not sure if this is what you want, but I have a shell script for viewing the contents of ipks.
CODE #!/bin/bash tar xzOf $1 ./data.tar.gz | tar tzf - You should be able to convert the tar command to work in MC Stu |

Hi I have just done this on my setup for MC Open $HOME/mc/bindings Amoungst the Archives section of the script add the following # ipk regex/\.ipk$ Open=%cd %p#utar View=%view{ascii} tar tvvf %f The gaps are tabs and finish with a carraige return This will open up the archive and typically display:- control.tar.gz data.tar.gz debian-binary The tar.gz files can then be opened as normal with the bindings for those files and there you have the whole lot to browse through or extract etc regards |

Open=%cd %p#utar View=%view{ascii} tar tvvf %f |

I think the problem is that View=%view{ascii} tar tvvf %f
should be View=%view{ascii} tar ztvf %f z for the gunzip |

You should better take a binding file from an existing desktop mc and modify it. |

Hi The setup on the Zaurus package of MC is a little different On mine the /home/etc/mc/mc.ext file has the key bindings in it I don't use the copy of MC on the Z to browse .ipk files so don't know if it works, however it does on the desktop set and I can check what I am installing before I do it and check what is already on the Z for any overwrites or conflicts. regards |
