So, once both packages are installed.

Running terminal

tor (to start up the connection)

then

torsocks on

then to connect to a Tor server

torsocks -a 10.1.4.253

Ideally, I would have liked Palemoon to access the service but it fails to load. However, you can try with other applications eg

torsocks <application>

In this instance

torsocks uget-gtk

Jasper, is the Openssl -1.1.1s-x86_64.pet kernel-specific? dependent on having some version or greater of glibc or gtk? Or can it be used installed into fossapup64-9.5 with any kernel?

[Jasper]

@mikeslr

Compiled on stock Fossapup64-95 using the DevX SFS.

I am using kernel ozsouth's 6.1.14 currently.

Do not believe it is kernel specific. Nor relies on any additional libraries.

You only need the 2 required pet files.

The Docs are separated. Mostly HTML help files.

[Jasper]

Update for Rsync and xxHash is required for file verification

[Jasper]

Using the OpenSSL 1.1.1s, I have updated OpenVPN (2.6.2)and tested this using ProtonVPN.

Both files are required. **EDIT** Sorry attached the wrong Libcap file (zipped) ... added the PET file now

Hi,
here is a .pet (***) for developer Steffen Gutmann's BeeBase-1.0, a rather simple-to-use(*) tiny database (**) compiled on FossaPup64-9.5.

That pet has the translated .html pages in it: just press F1 (or Menu/Help/cContent), as also pdf manuals (see inside the usr/share/BeeBase/* directory).
Last edited: F1/Help ISSUE: if an error message pops-up upon pressing key F1/or Menu/Help/Content, just add «xdg-open %f» in file /root/.BeeBase.prefs (see code hereafter) as also in Menu/Preferences/External Viewer.

(I had to fix that issue that way on a FossaPup64-9.5 pristine frugal install - was not the case on the pupsave file used for the compilation ..??? any understanding explanation would be much appreciated .. )

The from-the-homepage-among-others-available (****) beebase_1.0_amd64.deb archive only runs the english locale although the french fr_BE locale setting...do not know why...? - and although the french "BeeBase_fr.qm" locale is well present in the .deb archive among others.
Its /usr/bin/Beebase binary also runs OOTB using only Qt5 libs all present in FossaPup64-9.5 .

With the only hope getting the french locale working (my wife reads only french! ), I got a try compiling the source file.

Compile:
It compiled on FossaPup64-9.5 using only the gtk3 graphic toolkit (no "configure" step, only "make"; have had to install some missing deps (***)... then once done (ignoring the "could not generate a pdf help file" last error - the "make install DESTDIR=..." did not work -) picked-up the binary BeeBase under the build directory, as also the compiled beebase.mo locales, and bring them into the previously extracted and renamed beebase_1.0_amd64.deb file (adding /usr/share/locale dir, etc...).
The compile process did not call for the Qt5 libs.
The pet has in it the libhpdf-2.3.0_2.3.0+dfsg-1build1_amd64 missing lib in ordrer to run OOTB on FossaPup64-9.5.

It looks runnning flawless making some tables including pictures (i.e. flowers database populated according to name/colour/height/picture...). Enter the picture/image full filename inside the «picture» tables (=database) field (example: /mnt/sda5/pictures/005-rose.png).

Description: Relational programmable database with graphical user interface
BeeBase is a fast and flexible database for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Amiga. It is targeted for advanced desktop users who want to manage data in a comfortable and powerful way. BeeBase is able to manage any kind of data, e.g. addresses, CD series, movies, photo collections, your family tree, your income and expense, and much more. The power of BeeBase lies in its clear and powerful graphical user interface and its programming capabilities. Programming BeeBase allows you to process data in various ways, e.g. automatic calculations upon user input, generation of reports, import and export of data, and more. For example it can be used for calculating the total amount of income, or the total amount of recorded time on a CD, or to automatically create and print serial letters to your customers.
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Steffen Gutmann <beebase.bbs@gmail.com>

(****) According to its developper, the MUIBase program is identical to BeeBase (MUIBase already has been mentionned in the (old)Puppy forum: https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... de#p796858).

(***)...given as it is without after sales servicing ...

(**)To remenber: tiny databases from forum member gposil's ppdb tiny database as also Portabase (still available as Android apk but for android OS earlier than version 8.0 !! ).

(*) although it requires some basic knowledges about booleans and logics operators for defining filters; the help files and demos brings some usefull assistance to use the databse.

Have fun, thanks in advance for any improvement (***).
Best regards, Charlie

Hi again, jasper. Regarding my question here, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 1c9#p85250 about your Openssl -1.1.1s-x86_64.pet --thanks for it -- my flaky memory finally kicked in. There is a relationship between an openssl version and the systems' glibc. Openssl compiled against an older glibc will generally work in a system using a newer glibc, but not vice-versa. https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/opens ... 10002.html.

FWIW, I installed both your openssl pet and its companion openssl-dev pet into the latest version of F96_CE3. They appear to be working fine. Am posting from it now. Unfortunately, I don't know what what version of glibc F96-CE3 uses.

p.s. After reading Jasper's post in reply to this it occurred to me to see if there is an easy way to determine what version of glibc is used by a system. There is. Open a terminal and type "ldd --version" [w/o the "s|. F96-CE3 uses 2.31-0ubuntu9. As Jasper wrote, you can also examine /var/packages/builtin_files/glibc which shows /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so. But that was among a long list showing what files were installed and might not be recognized as the file you are looking for. I think Jasper is right that F96-CE3 employs the same glibc as fossapup64_9.5. But that might be a co-incidence as woof has changed and a creator might have choices.

[Jasper]

@mikeslr

Thanks for letting me know that it is working for you.

I was of the understanding that F96_CE3 and earlier builds are all based on F96-95 eg Glibc and that only the kernel and user applications were updated.

I believe that the file DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS found in

/var/packages/

Should contain a list of all packages installed.

I just checked on Distrowatch and noticed that no entry for FP96-CE is listed. However, @peebee S15 is here with a breakdown of packages. His offering has a newer Glibc.

[Jasper]

I had a re-look again at Firejail as I noticed that they had a GUI available.

Not compiled with AppArmor.

The program itself can be run directly via terminal eg

firejail (your application)

closing the terminal window will shut down the application once your finished.

The GUI relies upon QT which is available in Fossapup64-95.

A desktop menu entry is available under UTILITY ............ no, not my work part of the package

Please note, there is not a section for Internet ..... so you will have to type in the application name.

.......... you can use the application without the GUI. Just download firejail

[Jasper]

..........another missing post

[mikeslr]

edited my post about glibc, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 354#p85354. The easy way to determine your system's glibc is open a terminal and type "ldd --version" [w/o the "s|. F96-CE3 uses 2.31-0ubuntu9.

@Jasper

the depencies are duplicated:

libassuan-2.5.5.pet

[Jasper]

@ally

Thank you for pointing this out to me

The two deps are

• gpgme

• libassuan

basic usage

wget2 -c --progress=bar <filename url>

If you do not need GPGME support, attached is the basic application.

**EDIT** it's just not my day today I have uploaded the application again as I have removed a binary "wget2_noinstall" application still works without this and is smaller.

Is there anyone who can compile a recent version of Claws Mail (with Oauth2 working, so from 3.18 onwards, better latest 3.19.1) for FossaPup64 ? Maybe as portable?
Releases here: claws-mail.org/releases.php
Thanks

[Jasper]

@newpet

I did have an attempt at compiling newer builds eg 3.1.x and 4.x

Both require an additional libray Libetpan to be included. I did share a newer build here on this thread before but it got deleted

Oauth2 is required by Microsoft/Google services for authentication. Have you tried Thunderbird as a client?

https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/

Or hopefully, so one can build it for you

[Jasper]

Curl - compiled against OpenSSL 1.1.1s

Command-line tool to transfer data to or from a server.
