Couple of QuestionsCurious
- Is this utility capable of combining multiple SFSs in to single SFS for SARA B planting into the desktop?
- Or for some reason, is this restricted to PETs-DEBs into a SFS for SARA B planting into the desktop?
PaDS and SARA-B are totally different and them are totally independent applications. You can use PaDS without SARA-B and revert.
I think oui justed posted this all into the PaDS thread because he is using SARA-B to run Applications directly from its SFS and creating the SFS Modules just using PaDS - though they can be build manually as well as they can be build with the SFS Combiner made by smokey01 (sorry, no link atm).
Currently PaDS can only handle .pet, .deb and .txz files to extract them and combine them into a single SFS. But -at least in theory- it should be expandable to handle all file types that can be extracted in Puppy Linux.
Since I'm using some code to extract .pet, .deb, .tar.gz, .gz, .rpm, .sfs, .txz and .xz files directly into a directory of a extracted Puppy main SFS to build L.A.S.S.I.E.'s main SFS from this directory, I could add all those file types to be useable in PaDS as well.
Will add this to my ToDo list for a next update of PaDS.
