Please note: we're not going to describe something as painful as the pxml file here :P
file structure
a .dbp files is composed of 2 concatenated files :
- a squashfs file
- an *uncompressed* zip
The squashfs part contain your application(s) and everything it might need to run.
The zip part contain the meta-data related to the DBP.
Sample session to build a dbp
Say you have a your application in a "rootfs" directory and a meta" directory containing the metadata.
$ ls icons meta rootfs $ mksquashfs rootfs target.squash -all-root -force-gid 0 Creating 4.0 filesystem on target.squash, block size 131072. .... $ zip -r target.zip meta icons adding: meta/ (stored 0%) ... $ cat target.squash target.zip > target.dbp
