I hope the logic is correct, this will need some testing

@MochiMoppel I agree, I think that suspending on lid close unless connected to an external monitor is the most intuitive default behavior.

Somebody will need to contribute this change to woof-CE.

@darksun Every additional deadbeef plugin makes it bigger and heavier, so it's built with a limited selection. Most notably, it's built without the ffmpeg plugin (which makes it support pretty much anything) because ffmepg is by far the biggest dependency of deadbeef. I'll add the AAC plugin.

Forum distros will react, as well.

Interesting prophecy, thanks for sharing.

@Jasper PPM doesn't handle the corner case of a single package with multiple versions available, among other things. And it's unmaintained, this is only one issue among many.

No matter what gets announced on distrowatch, puppylinux.com is the first search result for "puppy linux" and needs to be updated. I think this is way more important than representation on dw.

Something to consider for next update to BookwormPup64

I'd say it might be a better idea to wait for Debian 13 and build a Puppy from its packages, instead of trying to backport a newer apt to a Debian 12 based system.

@peebee It's a PR, not merged yet. It can't affect anything until it's merged.

Hopefully Debian will support better "backwards compatibility", it would be a shame if not

Debian will probably follow Ubuntu's form of backward compatibility, which is forcing usrmerge when upgrading to the first version where it's mandatory.

@rockedge apt works! Only need to add BUILD_BDRV=yes and fixmenusd in PETBUILDS, so the JWM menu is updated automatically after apt install of an application (otherwise, one needs to fixmenus and jwm -reload).

Maybe you'll be able to get apt working out of the box if you set BUILD_BDRV=yes in _00build.conf. Trying this now.

Could security updates be included to the OS if a new build was created by Woof=CE?

Yes, it will build with all updates applied. But it's a one time thing, you'll need to rebuild every time you want to apply updates.

Without updated Mesa, there's not much to gain from updated kernel drivers. OpenGL is implemented in the Mesa driver, updating to kernel 6.8 only allows you to see these improvements *if* Mesa is new enough.
