alldepstodeb
alldepstodeb downloads a package and all dependencies into respective '.deb' files. Handy if you want to keep the download or to move it to another computer that doesn't have internet access.
About - Longer version
Normally you'd use a package manager to download a debian package. This is fine if the package always stays available online, but if you want to install it to another computer without internet access, you'll need the package itself and all it's dependencies (all the required files that go with the package). This program downloads everything you need to keep for the future.
Download
Download here (all 610 bytes of it!)Yeah, but how do I use it?
- Download and extract the script, to your desktop for example.
- Right-click and choose "Open with [*app]" - *your favourite text editor
- Edit line 5, otherwise you'll always download the package 'Clementine'
(which, incidentally, is a good music player). - Save and close
- Right-click and choose 'Execute'
(If it's easier, here's a youtube demo video).
System requirements
This will work on 32bit or 64bit systems, and on anything which is capable of using deb files - Debian (of course), Ubuntu / Xubuntu / Lubuntu / Kali / antiX / Zorin / Mint / Devuan / LXLE / Slax (version 9 and above) etc.
If you have any suggestions, please get in touch via email. Many thanks.
