Managed to find a way to decompress dreambox images without having to flash them to a box...
all done on my TM600 using just 1 extra binary and a script file....
working on cleaning the script up, with a plan for it to work like this
-have working USB storage in rear USB port aka /mmc/
-ftp into box and create > /mmc/unpack
-ftp image file you want to unpack into that dir
e.g > /mmc/unpack/Darkstar2_DM500_Vpn.img
-run this command
>/mmc/unpack/unbox Darkstar2_DM500_Vpn.img
-it then mounts contents of image and compresses into a .tar.gz to keep file attributes and symlinks
no idea if this would then be able to be compressed again to make working image, i only been working on it so i can have a look at DM groups image formats and look for libs etc, without having to ask people to flash them and copy etc etc, as i only have TM600....
will probably post finished script later, got work in 4 hours
