Dpkg-Fs

Implementation of pkgfs for dpkg.

Usage

./dpkg-fs /path/to/mount

What's in it?

• Mountpoint features both index/ and installed/!
• Each package has a description, version and size files.
• Packages have a dependencies folder with symlinks to their dependencies.
• Install packages via /pkg/index/name/install
• And uninstall via /pkg/installed/name/uninstall
• Sync to remote with /pkg/sync
• Installed packages have a files/ directory, which contains the tree of files the package installed on the filesystem.

Installation

Since this is still in development, no package is provided yet.

SBCL and quicklisp are build dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/ralt/dpkg-fs ~/common-lisp/dpkg-fs
$ cd ~/common-lisp/dpkg-fs
$ make
$ ./dpkg-fs /pkg

Bonus

Here is a dpkgfs.service file you can put in /etc/systemd/system/ to have systemctl enable dpkgfs available:

[Unit]
Description=dpkg as filesystem

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/$USER/common-lisp/dpkg-fs/dpkg-fs /pkg
