These are binary AppDirs or Application Directories mainly for use with the ROX-Filer. I package binary AppDirs with a 'tbz' suffix. AppDirs which contain source code have the 'tar.bz2' suffix. To use the AppDirs you should first get the ROX-Filer itself working. To do that you need to first install the MIME info used by the ROX-Filer. Install the AFX-rox-base-1.0.4-noarch package using installpkg. Then, unpack the ROX-Filer tarball into a directory in your path, or even better, create an apps directory in /usr: mkdir -p /usr/apps then unpack like this: cd /usr/apps tar xfv Path/To/Tarball Then make sure the permissions are right chown -R root.root ROX-Filer Then you can run it like this cd /usr/apps/ROX-Filer && ./AppRun Of course it's handier to put a wrapper in your path and name it simply 'rox'. You can copy the following into a blank text file and save it as 'rox'. Then copy or move it anywhere in your path. #/bin/bash cd /usr/apps/ROX-Filer ; exec ./AppRun "$@" exit 0 That's all. be sure there's a blank line after 'exit 0'. Once you have the filer running you should be able to use some of the AppDirs, although many of the ones I am writing and adapting depend on having Xdialog installed. Look in the Packages directory for Xdialog. The first thing you'll want to unpack and use is probably SqueezeMe, which is an AppDir for creating and decompressing archives. Move or copy SqueezeMe into /usr/apps and untar it as above for ROX-Filer. Then you can just drop any archive onto the SqueezeMe icon to unpack it in the same directory.
