Convert Sawmill theme to Debian package

NAME

sawmillthemetodeb - Convert Sawmill theme to Debian package

SYNOPSIS

sawmillthemetodeb [-p] [-i] [-r command] [-R command] tarball...

DESCRIPTION

sawmillthemetodeb converts Sawmill themes in the ".tar.gz" files named in its command line to ".deb" Debian packages.

With no options, the tarballs will be converted to .deb files only. In order to do this, the .deb builder (dpkg-deb(1)) need to be run at least through fakeroot(1). The command used to get "root privileges" is specified with the -r option.

The -i option will automatically install the converted packages and then delete the .deb files. In order to install a package, real root privileges are needed. The command needed to get these is specified with the -R option, if different from the command given by -r.

The -p option will cause sawmillthemetodeb to print out which .deb files were made in a program-parseable fashion. This is used internally when the -r option is used.

The output will look like this:

    sawmillthemetodeb:I: qw[foo.deb bar.deb quux.deb]

EXAMPLES

   sawmillthemetodeb -rfakeroot -Rsudo -i Babylon5.tar.gz
   sawmillthemetodeb -rsudo -i AboveEndor.tar.gz
