OPREK UBUNTU BAGIAN TIGA : MEMBUAT REPOSITORI SENDIRI

Kali ini saya akan membahas mengenai membuat repositori lokal ubuntu. Dulu, saya pernah membahas tentang penggunaan apt untuk instalasi, yang intinya adalah ada file informasi database kumpulan paket dpkg dalam bentuk Packages.gz
Beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya sempat mendownload banyak paket dpkg, komplit dengan dependensinya. Saya tidak ada masalah dengan kumpulan paket tersebut, namun saya mendapat sedikit kerepotan ketika saya harus menginstal ulang sistem linux saya karena masalah, yang akhirnya harus menginstal seluruh paket dpkg tersebut dengan perintah $ sudo dpkg –i *.deb
Selain lama, hal tersebut kurang efisien karena ternyata saya tidak membutuhkan semua paketnya, dan jalan terbaik adlah dengan apt. Tapi bagamina membuat file database apt yang bernama Packages.gz itu? Kalau di Fedora ada aplikasi createrepo yang sangat canggih, namun di debian? Saya googling, dan mendapat cara membangun script apt, yaitu dpkg-scanpackages. Namun, saat saya menjalankannya, lagi-lagi muncul command not found.
Setelah berbingung ria, saya mendapati ternyata dpkg-scanpackages tidak pre-installed di ubuntu, melainkan paket tersebut adalah bagian dari paket dpkg-dev yang harus kita instal secara terpisah. Tanpa ragu saya download paket dpkg-dev di packages.ubuntu.com, lalu menjalankan dpkg-scanpackages. Prinsip kerjanya sama dengan createrepo, cuma script perintahnya lebih rumit. Jadi, setelah kita menaruh kumpulan paket dpkg di sebuah direktori, misal /home/xxx/paket-debian, kita jalnkan perintah ini :
$ sudo dpkg-scanpackages paket-debian /dev/null | gzip -9c > paket-debian/Packages.gz
Walau agak rumit, saya memang berhasil membangun repositori lokal, dan setalh saya masukan ke sources.list, saya bisa menggunakannya dengan apt atau synaptic.
Mmm, pengalaman baru...
Salam Linux!

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin. But, all of those projects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE and how about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop? (Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now). Until now, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically, LXDE uses gtk (now still stay w...

QMMP Skins Pack for Ubuntu/Debian

QMMP is a great Winamp Like music player. For me, this is the greatest current living Winamp Like Music Player in Linux (Audacious seems to be more “gtk” interfaced music player than classic winamp). This is based on QT but works smooth and fast enough in gtk based desktops (lxde, xfce, gnome). For you that don't know yet what is QMMP, this is a popular app and installable easily by apt in Ubuntu and or Debian (squeeze, wheezy, sid) : sudo apt-get install qmmp Because of this, I decided to pack some cool Winamp classic skins to be a Debian package to fullfil the lack of additional skins in default QMMP installation. These are the skins : AmpBurger Bang & Olufsen DaizedAmp iTunesLeopard Kenwood-KDC-2019 Rapture s1-1.5d Winamp5-XMMS Winamp Classic And this is the file qmmp-skins-pack-0.1-all.deb you can download and install it to eyecandy your QMMP Player. Happy Linuxing !
