ldd2chroot – A script to extract packages

At last I got some time to blog, and I did something with ‘chroot’. Here is a script which will extract ldd dependency library packages(.debs) to ‘chroot’ directory. Here is the steps it follows,

1. For the given command, get the shared libraries.
2. Then get the packages which will give the shared libraries.
3. and download those shared libraries and extract in the given ‘chroot’ directory.

I hope it will be useful to package maintainers.
