# FAQ

|
||||
**Q: What "debtap" stands for?**
|
||||
|
||||
**A:** DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?**
|
||||
|
||||
**A:** Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?**
|
||||
|
||||
**A:** No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
|
||||
**A:** No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, using parameter -p or -P it can generate a PKGBUILD and then edit it as you wish.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?**
|
||||
|
||||
**A:** You need to have installed these dependencies: `bash`, `binutils` (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), `pkgfile`, `package-query` (from AUR) and `fakeroot`. You also need an active internet connection, because debtap downloads information from internet in order to translate packages names, and also you must run at least once (preferably recently) `pkgfile -u` to create/update pkgfile database (you do this with root privileges).

|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?**
|
||||
|
||||
**A:** Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpank a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.

**Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?**
