yanik39/equivs repository overview

⁠Equivs

Equivs is a Fake *.deb creator to avoid dpkg and apt dependency issues.

Example: I had python build from source but NodeJS desperately needs python3-minimal. So with Equivs just created dummy package that provides python3-minimal, so NodeJS dependencies are satisfied.

⁠Commands

  • equivs-control : Creates a file to edit which will be build at next step.

    • Ex: equivs-control dummy-python

  • equivs-build : Builds your dummy package and creates *.deb file in same folder.

    • Ex: equivs-build dummy-python
⁠Install
docker run -d \
        --name Equivs \
        yanik39/equivs:latest
⁠Usage
docker exec -it Equivs /bin/bash

cd /tmp

equivs-control somedumypackagename

nano somedummypackagename

equivs-build somedummypackagename

dpkg -i somedummypackagename.deb
