hi folks!
i'm not a developer but sometimes i do some scripting.Now i'm working on a project that called "APK2",and i think that could be useful!
Some months ago, I thought "why don't create a package manager and a package system to install real linux packages, and not just apps? I may want to install some command-line tools to run with terminal emulator" then I wrote this script, named apk2.sh, that installs some particular packages (I wrote another script to easily create this type of packages): he simply does the apt-like un-tar in /, but it installs a config directory too, to remove the installed packages.
It supports the preinst, postinst, prerm, postrm scripts too.
Tell me if it could be interesting, and I'll put it here.
If so, I need testers
If not, simply tell me, and I give up.
so could you be able to run like air crack through debian with this or?

I could be able to run it on Android if someone can port all the libs to armv5e
I know, you have to do the porting in order to run it, but for example if there is the package for debian armv5 I think it should work if you take all the deps from the repo (may need some repacking, just to remove the CONTROL folder, and maybe to add the file needed to uninstall and various preinst, postinst etc. ).
And you don't need to run a debian or an ubuntu on Android, that's not really fast.
What do you think?
i think that this sounds really good and if it worked fully it would be a major addition to android development im hoping youll continue with this

Thank you!
Any tester? I attach the scripts to now how apk2 works, just run it without any parameter, and it will show you
The other script it's simple to use, you just have to run it once to create in your home the basilar directory tree, you have to complete it and put the files in it, then you just have to put your preinst-postinst-prerm-postrm scripts in the ~/yourpackage/system/etc/apk2 directory, if you have some.
Then run the script again, insert the same package name, and here we are! The package is build! It's in the packagename directory in your home, in .apk2 and in .tar.gz, if you have to edit something do it on the tar.gz, and then change the extension in .apk2
PS: rename the files *.sh.txt into *.sh, because this forum doesn't allow .sh attachments...

in non-linux speak (layman's terms), what could i do with this...my interest is peaked
what are some "real linux packages" that one might want

i.e., the one olvap377 mentioned: air crack (I think it's possible).
or, we can run every app that does not need X server.
I created some demo packages (containing 2 scripts), one is SwapTools, and lets you enable/disable swap with 2 simple cmds (swap-enable and swap-disable); at the first run it collects some info, like the swappiness and the swap partition, then it saves the conf in a file (using swap-disable with --remove-conf will remove the conf file).
Another one I created is remount: you can remount your /system partition rw or ro just by typing on a terminal emulator
Code:
remount rw
or
Code:
remount ro
But you can try to use other appz compiled for armv5 processors, like all the debian apps, except for the one with GUI (we run on framebuffer, no X server :/ )
PS: I attach the pkgs, I added the .zip extension, just rename it in pkgname.apk2
Honest question: Why reinvent the wheel? Other embedded Linux projects have used ipkg to good effect, or its close relative opkg (refs from same link) which is used by Openmoko. A port of this to Android systems which have uClibc should be nearly trivial.

I have also an Openmoko phone
I know very well ipkg/opkg, it could be interesting a porting, but I thought it was better to create a little lighter script to do it, because 1. a script that uses sh is usable in every system, you can either to install armv5e pkgs, or any armv* pkg, you have just to change some little things; 2. I don't know how to port, and I'm not able to do programming.
If you are interested and know how to do a porting, it could be very useful, because opkg has really lots of functions...
I just did what I could

Ahh, okay, I see what you mean. Fair enough; I haven't seen your work so far, I was just concerned you were doing unneeded work. 'Course sometimes it's good to do that for the learning experience.
I don't have a full build setup for Android, so I can't recompile (I do have a full build setup for building Optware packages, but that's not quite the same), but I believe most custom ROMs ship uClibc. I'm not familiar enough with uClibc to know if you need to build against an exact version, though you could copy opkg from your Openmoko phone for the heck of it and see if it runs

Ya mean, copy the binary??? If so, it won't work of course, because the architecture of the openmoko processor is armv4t, it wouldn't see my binary
Nethertheless, if someone is interested
PS: please, could someone test my scripts? Thank you dudes

Heh, oh, older ARM core. Not paying attention. I will now stop hijacking your thread

No problem, man
No testers?
Please give me a feedback. If u want, I can make some apk2 by debs for armv5... Then I accept hints like "howto manage dependencies", 'cause I've no ideas...

Hi I have and HTC Hero from Sprint, I'm not a linux power user but I spent lots of time in my computer running Ubuntu just for 2 big reasons 1 freeware and 2 it has the best an simplest packet manager... I love deb files that installs like any .exe win programs I love that! I'm son not a coder and have little to no skills under Linux shell I use my sudo nautilus commands and so because I need it but I hate to untar or tar gz crap... for me that it old and useless some linux power user may get offended by that comment but hi times changes we love GUI... if you manage to post prints screens or a word open office or PDF documentation dummy proof I'm very up to be a Happy tester... the other thing I'm a Digital Graphic Designer if you need some design for a GUI and can try to help you in making and eye candy app...
Here it the way I will love to see grow this project... finding a way to installed it as an apk file like others in the android market so users can install the app easy then...in top of that a simple GUI to browse to the SD card in order to get the apk2 file... you where talking about not being able to run programs that has GUI that it is sad but still interesting but a lot of work to do without a good community because that means that all GUI may need to be re-design to the different resolution on the phones and be touch friendly...
I'm not sure if I'm helping at all but I love the big picture behind your project...
I'm porting opkg on Android, but i'm can't tell that's a trivial task )))
i also wrote simple howto "building and porting linux apps for android from scratch", but on russian. If needed i can do some translating and put here too.
Also may be we can open project for buildroot-like framework for android and opkg's repository. In my how-to i'm use crosstool-ng + gcc + uClibc.

Wow! Please do some translating!
But, when you finish the porting, how will you manage to port the packages?
Will you use the debian pkgs changing the extension? Would it work?
Thanks a lot!
No, we want to create only android repository of packages, based on opkg (ipkg)
for arm, mips and others platfofms.
i need to do pentesting for developer, but all my decompiling tools failed to show proper code, take a look at my issue on github, what issue i'm facing :
https://github.com/leibnitz27/cfr/issues/235
Is there option in some others java bytecode decompilers which can decompile and desugar lambda, so it displays proper code. I wasn't been able to do pentest because of this, i can't read code, not even try to exploit it at all.
The Java bytecode decompiler in IntelliJ IDEA is a built-in tool that allows you to read compiled bytecode as if it were human-readable Java code.

just checked (IntelliJ IDEA), and tried, still no luck, as i know it uses Fernlower, which i already tried. (i have problems, with improper decopmilaton/desugaring java bytecode, and it throws multiple .class files with $$Lambda$ extention)
and this is my first time to see this retrolambda, for which i never heard before.
i wish i could decompile it manually, but i can't as before 2 days i didn't knew what is retrolambda, let alone manually decompile it.
resources, how i can manually decompile and understand retrolambda, are welcome, i will check in their git repository if i can find anything, some instrutions.
