Re: A Source Based Pup.... Possible???

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 are...

I know that such an app...
