Hi Juan Carlos,

If I use the tcos tools on a x86_64 system I receive the same NullpointerException like you. Thats why I recommend encapsulating the needed tools within the context of a 32bit wheezy (aka Docker container in my case, a virtualbox image will be online rather soon). If your development system is 64bit, that may be the reason why the deb files are malformed.

Cheers and a nice weekend too!

Steffen,

Thanks for the quick answer. According to http://wiki.openthinclient.org/wiki/Pakete-Entwickeln#interne_Entwickler (I thought my german was poorer, but it wasnt at all xD) , this is my full walkthrough for Chrome:

1.- Downloaded chrome i386, unpacked it.
2.- # tcos genpackage chrome // (new version changes it from tcos_genpackage and creates package_rootfs correctly) 3.- Modified the structure under chrome/chrome-2.0.1/ , according to the documentation. Filled package_rootfs/opt and all the needed folders that chrome needs. Also checked the rest of the requirements but I might need to go deeper on this.

4.- # dch // to fillup control and version
5.- # tcos build . // builds the package files , output seems normal, no error messages. Generates *.deb, *.dsc, *.changes, *.changelog, *.tar.gz , *.Packages.gz

6.- # tcos upload ../chrome-2.0-1-2_i386.deb //uploads the files to the webserver. 7.- I always restart the openthinclient server and the apache server, just to refresh the whole tree. 8.- Go to manager, refresh packages. The chrome package is there. Click to install pops-up the error we're dealing with.

Contents of the sources.list:

# v2 rolling
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/v2/manager-rolling ./
deb http://epr-vdi-2.eprinsa.es/openthinclient/manager-rolling ./

,  the second line being the path to the files in the webserver.
As I said, I've tried another package in the git and the result is the same. OpenThinClient server is Ubuntu 14.04, jre is Oracle's Java 1.7. Development server is Debian 8.

And finally, regarding your proposal: Of course, whatever comes as a result, once tested and working goes to the community.
Thanks again, have a nice weekend :)

    Hi Juan Carlos,

    can you provide the very commands you used to "generate", build
    and "upload" the package to the webserver?.  And please provide
    your servers  sources list
    (/opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/etc/sources.list) ,
    too.

    Do you like to provide your package afterwards? I may merge it
    upsteam.

    Cheers!

    Hi listers,

    I've created a package for Google Chrome, I think I've followed
    all the steps on the doc page: built, uploaded to the web server,
    can see it in the list of installable packages. Whenever I
    proceed to install it I get a popup with the following error message:

    "The Package isn't formated correctly
    java.lang.NullPointerException"

I've updated the tcos-dev package to the latest 2.1-13 version. At first I thought it was something missing in my packet
    configuration, but then I mirrored
    https://github.com/openthinclient/os-applications.git , built one
    of the packages there and tried the install with that one. But
    still the same error.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
