[07:09] <dholbach> good morning
[15:20] <sidi> I want to extract lists of all the executables/scripts in all Ubuntu packages. I reckon identifying binaries isnt hard (just gotta find the files with +x permissions), but i'm curious how I can efficiently parse all of Ubuntu's repos... is there an equivalent to ArchLinux's abs?
[15:25] <rbasak> sidi: no idea what abs is, but maybe the apt-file command is what you want? Or at least you can see how it gets its information.
[15:26] <rbasak> Contents-amd64.gz etc.
[15:33] <sidi> rbasak, that'd do half of the job most likely. i'm currently trying to figure out if https://apt.alioth.debian.org/python-apt-doc/library/apt_pkg.html can get me a list of all packages
[15:34] <rbasak> A list of all packages?
[15:34] <rbasak> grep-dctrl on /var/lib/apt/lists/... will give you that.
[15:35] <sidi> rbasak, thanks :-)
