Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi there

I have fossapup64. And built-in Geany has no features for executing perl scripts in terminal etc.

So I decided to use great pkg cli utility by @sc0ttman to install a newer and possibly full version of Geany : and I got this:


root# pkg g--force get geany
Skipping geany (already built ...

At some point, I'd like to make a deptree.sh <pkgname> command/script from the above, that can print out a nice tree style hierarchy of dependencies to the terminal.

Something like:

This is in alpha/toy/experiment state. Not ready for production, as they say.

I'm gonna look into forking and extending sget sometime, so that it can install stuff from as many different kinds of repos as possible.

Thanks for the suggestions. I got LuaJIT installed and continued on..

I tried building from the "build" dir with:

and from the src dir with:

Unlike "CVS Lite" it has branches, staging, and is generally more "modern" and "git-like" in its features.

Also has a nice walkthrough.

Open the Puppy Package Manager update the repos after enabling the repo bionic-ondrej then can be used to search for the names of the available PHP7.4+ packages.

Out of interest, why did you use the Puppy Package Manager to do an update at this point?

That's great.

I have nothing to add, but would love to know if you can list potential applications for this.

Would it be any use (in conjuction with others things of course), for example, in doing any of the following?

This is like a smaller, simpler src2pkg . Tested and working in Fossapup64.

I forgot, this script is used by the other two, for extracting archive files, so you need this too...

Save as extract , make it executable, and save it in your $PATH.

echo "'$1' is not a valid file!" >&2
exit 1

1. when searching for deps, you will get lots of "Package not found in any repos"

2. Lots of things won't build.

3. You can ...

The second script can compile PKGBUILDs to PET packages.

Both ...
