My packages compiled in OE are online:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64/packages/compat/oe/dunfell/

So it should be possible to get woof-CE to build a puppy from them. You wouldn't need '0pre-oe'.

EDIT:
That is, if you are ok with my configure choices. It looks like the mainstream puppies ...

Debian has source repositories where you can download the source and build the package from source:

apt-get --build source package_name

https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/SourcePackage

I don't know if pkg has any tools built into it to use the source repos from another distro. I know that ...

Ditto bigpup... mostly.

I was looking at that series too.

I would keep Windows 10, opting out of S mode, and would run Puppy on removable media. I still need my Windows printer utility and you might too.

Might check it out!

If one wants to run puppy on a USB device then for good ...

Facebook, is getting to a level of bloat that in my opinion running a portable browser over USB 2.0 is becoming at times unusable. If one is running puppy in usbflash mode then the performance may still be acceptable because at least the changes will be in RAM but in the near future even this may be ...

Has anyone else noticed that 'sfs_load' doesn't seem to work quite right?
It's most noticable when trying to "unload" an sfs, it doesn't actually get removed from the stack.

The problem sems to be the 'df' command, it's output no longer contains the information that 'sfs_load' depends upon.
I ...

Hmmm... I'm sure you are correct peebee since you are likely to know. Could you kindly point me to the alienbob comment that shows his builds can now be used in other distros. I use Chromium in WDL_Arch64, the Arch version, but it looked like they'd take that out of their repo at one stage so like ...

This is a 'forum', by the way. If something is published about here, everyone has a right to give their opinion, the negative and the positive.

Seems to me, the use of C as an alternative to shell scripting, in terms of accessibility, for community distro core component designs is a worthwhile ...

s243a

There is a 32bit version of Un-Googled Chromium that works on upuphh+d (aka HirsutePup32).

The package can be downloaded at:
chromium-ungoogled-89.0.4389.114-i586-1alien.txz (Click on it to install)

The SlackBuild used to create it can be found at:

I created the following script to run synergy in the foreground. I don't understand why the semicons are required:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
xterm -hold -e \
'sh -x -c "echo \"starting synergy server\";
synergys -d WARNING --name puppypc31184 --no-daemon -c ~/synergy.conf;
wait"'

Was a bit discouraged bout using pup, seeing the pet repository full of outdated links. So just figured well, if the pets are dying than better be ready to build a lot on your own.

The links are out of date because you haven't updated it. These links change frequently and you have to update the ...

Hello to all. I hope you are all well. I'm fine.
I need to access from my linux pc (fossadog64) the folders of another linux pc (bionicpup32) in the LAN to save folder and files.
Is it okay if I install SSH and use this software or is there other preferable tool?
thanks sonia

Helo! FatDog64 is a very efficient system (everyone already knows). Recently, I decided to find other ways to start it. So, using Slacko64's initrd, with some modifications to the "init" script and "DISTRO_SPECS", the system continues to work very well. What is the advantage? None! However, it is ...

@s243a I am a LONG way away from having this conversion finished never mind transferred.

You will need to talk to the dev's at phpBB.com about the 3 letter word search issue. That is what is built in. At some point when my plate is not so full of complicated conversions AND keeping this site ...

It looks like version of dir2pet in easyOS doesn't have as many options. So instead of:

dir2pet -s -p=$PKG_Fname -w="File Manager" -c="Filesystem"

you can do the following:

dir2pet $PKG_Fname

That fixed it. The slackbuild script dropped right into Barrys gui version of dir2pet and ...

I compiled the latest synergy source from github:

synergy-core_1.13.2.1-1_x86_64.pet ( download )

unlinke upuphh+d (see post ), I was able to compile the source without installing any dependencies. It was built by the standard method:

cd synergy-core
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

One thing that definitely should be put into it's own module is the qt packages, and a second module for the related dev packages. The reason being is that if one qt package is missing one might not be able to get the same version from the official repos and version consistance is necessary between ...

I finally got around to packaging Synergy for upupgg+d. The utilities synergyh + synergyc work as expected but you can't start the client or server from the gui without activating the softwear. However, without activation you can save the configuration from the gui and then start the client or ...

Can we plese keep an archived copy at the old URL until we fix the search feature (see post) on this forum that doesn't let us search for three letter words like, "apt" and "pkg"?

thanks in advance.

On a clean install after first run setup, I've run Puppy Package Manager. After updating the repository data by clicking the refresh button, every package search I am doing is indicating that every displayed package is 'ALREADY INSTALLED'. I have deleted the Save Folder and ran the setup several ...

To me this sounds like even the Enterprise Plan quotas are free, if all your repositories are public.

Well, hats off to Microsoft if that is true. Personally I find that unlikely. But if it's true then people can stop recommending places to ...

@rockedge / @amethyst :-

I will just add this here:-

Don't forget; it's only the Java runtime packages themselves that are arch-specific, yes? Any Java applications are, by their very nature, designed to be arch- AND platform-agnostic.

This being the case, I feel we actually need the main body ...

It appears that I've successfully compiled the latest synergy source on upuphh+D but I didn't package it yet. IIRC the compiled files are located in /build/bin of the following archive.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9h6e9t8ok19tm7/synergy-core.tar.gz?dl=0

I'll try to test it and package it tonight. I ...

I've experimented with some puppy4 versions recently as a container and on one computer I do run dpup stretch but mostly I use newer pupps like FATDOG811, upuphh+D and Fossapup64.

It sounds pretty cool. I'll try to find time to give it a try. Have you considered building a 32bit version?

Reaper portable?
Why?

After extracting the reaper archive one can run reaper from every location.
It's portable by default!

No need to install Reaper, no need to have Reaper portable versions.

Well, at the very least it lets us know its portable but perhaps Mike added some extra stuff to it ...

I also can't search for the word "ssh" on this forum because it is too short. BTW in all these searches I'm searching for posts I've made about these topics so I include my username in the advanced search feature.

Speaking of bugs in the search feature, it ignores the word apt, saying it is to common. Fortunately if I'm searching for apt I can search for dpkg instead. That said, I don't think that forum members here are that apt to say the word apt, unless they are searching for the apt package.
