DEB Package add preinst after compiled - ios

My buddy wrote a custom patch about a year ago for my iPad that allows me to use certain apps despite being jail broken. Unfortunately it no longer works but I figured out that it can be fixed by creating a few directories manually before installing the deb package.
Is it possible to bundle this preinst code with my existing deb file so that the directories are created automatically before the install fails? Please note that I do not have the original source code of the deb package.

Sure. Extract the contents of the Debian package (using dpkg -x), then create a file named preinst in the DEBIAN directory. This has to be an executable (or a shell script) with proper permissions; usualluy 0755 is good enough. The contents may be as follows:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /path/to/folder
Then re-create the package using dpkg-deb --build, and it should be fine now.

Why does pipenv install -e create pyproject.toml file in package directory?

tl;dr
Editable pipenv install adds pyproject.toml file to module's source directory. Necessary? Why?
full story
Using another internal project as a git submodule in our project. The submodule has code for a Python package that is normally packaged and installed via pip.
Since the source for proper version is already available, we're toying with setting up our project's pipenv to install an editable version from the tree instead.
pipenv install -e my_project/vendor/other_project/lib/python
Doing this adds a vendor/other_project/lib/python/pyproject.toml file. Why? Is there a way to avoid? If I need to add this to the other project, I can probably make that happen. But I'd like to understand before I do.

install MongoDB C++ Driver problem in ubuntu 16.04

I want to install MongoDB C++ Driver, so first is mongocxx
I follow this installation:
http://mongocxx.org/mongocxx-v3/installation/
but I can not pass step 4
when I run this in mongo-cxx-driver/build
sudo cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
it shows
-- Auto-configuring bsoncxx to use MNMLSTC for polyfills since C++17 is inactive
CMake Error at src/mongocxx/CMakeLists.txt:37 (find_package):
By not providing "Findlibmongoc-1.0.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this

"libmongoc-1.0_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"libmongoc-1.0" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.
second question,
Step 2: Choose a C++17 polyfill how can I set MNMLSTC/core?
does anyone can help me,I already trap here for a long time ?
my env:
mongo-c-driver 1.15.1
libmongoc-1.0
mongocxx-3.4.x
Cmake is complaining about not finding a package configuration file (xxx.cmake), probably because you didn't build libmongoc/libbson.
I've tried to reproduce your issue and hit the same problem when I only installed them (apt-get install), so my suggestion is that you get the sources and build them as described at: http://mongoc.org/libmongoc/current/installing.html
Here's the list of commands (with the latest version of mongo-c-driver=1.15.1) which I just tried and worked fine:
wget https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases/download/1.15.1/mongo-c-driver-1.15.1.tar.gz
tar xzf mongo-c-driver-1.15.1.tar.gz
cd mongo-c-driver-1.15.1
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF ..
make
sudo make install
At this point you can go back into mongocxx/build and run again the command you were stuck at:
cd ../../mongo-cxx-driver/build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..

Error : File `l3backend-pdfmode.def' not found. }

I am trying to compile a .tex document into a pdf in TexStudio (and I have also tried in MikTex) and the following error is outputted File l3backend-pdfmode.def not found. I have tried downloading 13backend package but no luck. Do I need to place the package in a specific folder?
I had the same problem, turned out my miktex library was out-of-date
I opened "miktex console" and updated it.
I incurred into the same issue slightly after an upgrade from Debian 10 to Debian 11. For me, removing all the .texlive* directories from my home folder solved it
mv ~/.texlive* /tmp # If you want to restore them later
rm -r ~/.texlive* # If you are sure about deleting
The ~/.texlive2020 directory was rebuilt after running pdflatex.

How to install the latest Docker .deb package?

On our production Ubuntu servers we are not allowed to make changes to the apt sources lists.
So, using the script located at https://get.docker.com/ubuntu/ is unfortunately not an option for me. Instead I need to download the docker .deb package for ubuntu and install it manually using dpkg.
However the docker installation documentation here: https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/#installing-docker-on-ubuntu does not detail how to get the deb package directly. Any ideas?
I ended up installing docker like so using direct deb package downloads:
#!/bin/bash
docker_version=1.6.2
get_docker=https://get.docker.io/ubuntu/pool/main/l
for package in lxc-docker lxc-docker-$docker_version; do
deb=${package}_${docker_version}_amd64.deb
curl -s $get_docker/$package/$deb -o $deb
done
sudo dpkg -i lxc-docker_${docker_version}_amd64.deb lxc-docker-${docker_version}_${docker_version}_amd64.deb
(Thanks to #eldos for pointing me in the right direction)
Latest docker packages (post 1.9) are now avaiable at https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo/pool/main/d/docker-engine/
You can download the one that suits your OS & architecture from here and install with 'sudo dpkg -i < package_name >'

Access iOS filesystem without jailbreak?

I would like to write/use an open source script that can access iOS filesystem (non-jailbroken). On a Jailbroken device, i use ssh/scp to access, transfer data from the device. Intent is to copy some part of the iOS filesystem (say /var/mobile/Applications/xxx-xxxx/Documents) to a Mac, from a non-Jailbroken device, using some script. I see that tools like iFunBox is able to do it. Would like to know it manages to do so.
I came across mobiledevice.h but could not really understand how to use it.
Also, would prefer getting this done over USB.. for a jailbroken device, i use tcprelay.py for doing the usb tunneling. Is there something i can use for a non jailbroken device?
You can install the ifuse tool, which is hosted here: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse
In order to compile this tool, you will need the a working set of Gnu-tools (make, libtool, etc).
#Don't worry - clang is still default
sudo port install gcc48
NB: Update your .bash_profile (or similar) to include the following:
#Important - this is where your compiled libs will get installed to, so we need this
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/**
The rest of this process should take a few minutes
Install fuse4x
sudo port install fuse4x
Build the dependencies:
Check out: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libplist, cd into the checkout, and run:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Check out: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libusbmuxd, cd into the checkout, and run:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Check out: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice, cd into the checkout, and run:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
(If you're on Linux you'll also need to install usbmuxd, after building libusbmuxd and libimobiledevice. . otherwise, for Windows and OSX . . . )
Now build iFuse:
Check out: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
To use ifuse to access your app's documents directory:
Make a mount directory:
sudo mkdir -p /Volumes/myapp.app
Now mount the app's dir:
ifuse --container <appid> /Volumes/abced.app
Where app id is the name what's displayed in the bundle identifier . . example:
ifuse --container mycompany.ABCED.com /Volumes/abced.app/
(Refer to the attached pic)
The MobileDeviceManager library brings us simple filesystem operations (it's an easy-to-use Objective-C wrapper around the MobileDevice framework you have come across).
The thing is that it doesn't support copying files from the device to the computer, only the other way around. So, in order to work around this issue, I've created a patch (GitHub gist) that you can merge into the included sample program to have it understand the copyFrom command.
