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-in).. ...

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: $ deptree.sh freeciv freeciv ├── freeciv-client-gtk3 ├── freeciv-data └── libfluidsynth2 ├── libinstpatch-1.0-2 └── ti...

resolvedeps.sh A standalone script for dependency resolution. 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. Idea from https://github.com/soraxas/shsh: Any files inside a bin directory are added to $PATH. If there is no bin directory, any executable files in the package r...

Thanks for the suggestions. I got LuaJIT installed and continued on.. I tried building from the "build" dir with: cmake -S ../src -B . and from the src dir with: cmake -S . -B ../build Both give the same error: # cmake . -- Detecting LuaJIT... -- Using pkg-config to detect LuaJIT... -- Fou...

Sorry, one more..

Shiv..

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

Also has a nice walkthrough.

Git in POSIX Shell.. You could hack it to your needs.

The EASIEST way to make a nice looking Puppy based emulation distro is the following: - use RetroArch + EmulationStation The best way to make a nice looking one with lowest system requirements: - use a manual collection of emulators + EmulationStation The best way to make a very barebones but usable...

Hiya, Hopefuly this might be of interest. I saved this a while back. The site and script has since disappeared off the internet (preserved in my dotfiles repo though). # CVS Lite # A Lightweight Alternative to CVS # by Philip Guo # http://alum.mit.edu/www/pgbovine/ A lightweight, portable single-use...

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? - Sentiment analysis of text? (...given a particular string, and a body of text, ...

Hi guys, So.. Ran it from root dir of repo: # cmake --log-level=ERROR . CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindSubversion.cmake:124 (message): Command "/usr/bin/svn info /root/sites/github/Revelade-Revolution" failed with output: svn: E155007: '/root/sites/github/Revelade-Revolut...

Hi all, Here's a game called Revelade-Revolution - a fork of Cube 2, with the Bullet Physics engine added, and some other niceties. - an urban themed zombie first-person-shooter, single and multiplayer - 5 character "classes" each with own weapon set - would run on very low specs machines ...

I've been using only puppy for years now... probably about 10 but dunno.. Since I switched to Puppy, I had to setup myself up a Windows machine while at Uni for Autodesk and Adobe stuff, but that was it.. Work give us Macbooks, but I've even used Puppy on my old thinkpad for producing stuff for work...

Nice .. I'm just compiling Muse4, latest Qtractor now.. for Fossa64. I also recommend jackctlmmc (search github) for easier mapping of the MIDI device MMC (play/stop/back) to Muses play/stop/back feature.

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. #!/bin/bash # easier archive file extraction if [ ! -f "$1" ] ; then echo "'$1' is not a valid file!" >&2 exi...

NOTES: 1. when searching for deps, you will get lots of "Package not found in any repos" ...this is (mainly) cos Arch Linux uses slightly different names for packages. 2. Lots of things won't build. ...but at least they're (mostly) compiling errors, usually related to missing deps. 3. You ...

pkgbuild2pet I made two scripts that can be used to compile PET packages from Arch Linux build scripts, called a "PKGBUILD" :thumbup: The first script can download PKGBUILDs for you (a folder full of scripts, patches, etc). The second script can compile PKGBUILDs to PET packages. Both scr...

Thanks.. good spot.

Should be fixed now. Updated main post.

I've been using this one for a week or so... - It is very fast, 1.2mb binary, - smaller binary and fewer deps than alpine, mutt, neomutt, aerc - works with Gmail (even with 2FA enabled), respects the mail filters and custom dirs - super easy to setup - developer is very helpful and responsive (he do...
