Correct way to pack txz under Linux

[darkside40]

Hi there,

i would like to modify a plugin i use. For that i have to unpack and repack the txz. 
Could somebody give me a hint how to repack everything without getting permission issues after install?

 

I know how it works in Windows because it dont care about permission but not how it works in Linux.

Okay figured it out by myself:

tar -cJf plugin.txz --owner=0 --group=0 plugin/

I use the ‘makepkg’ command when building the .txz file for my plugins.

Sounds interesting? Any special commandline options or cfg file neccessary?

No this is a system utility in Slackware, this is the default package system for Slackware, what do you want to pack?

I simply need to pack the plugin structure lying in the usr/ folder on my development machine.

Till now i simple run a chmod 755 on that folder and after that i package it with the tar command like this: tar -cJf plugin.txz --owner=0 --group=0 usr/

 

Dont know if there is any benefit doing this with makepkg.

Permissions are set/reset if you want it automatically...
