New pet2tgz and pet2dir

November 29, 2016 — BarryK
/usr/bin/pet2tgz is an ancient script. I did add a few things to it, but it is a bit klutzy. Mavrothal rewrote it for woof-CE:
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/ppm_auto/blob/master/usr/bin/pet2tgz

I have written a new pet2tgz based on mavrothal's version.

Finally, have also created /usr/bin/pet2dir, to expand a PET package to a folder.

Previously, have always run "tar -xf name-of-pet-package", which gives an error message, due to the md5 sum appended to the file.

So now you just run "pet2dir name-of-pet-package". It does not delete the PET package.
