How to get your version of Puppy Linux submitted to be listed on puppylinux.com

Post by bigpup »

Anyone can issue a Pull Request at https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/p ... .github.io for consideration.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o

There are 2 pages on puppylinux.com where various Puppy builds are listed:

https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/index.html should only have "official" Pups listed

https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/download.html has other "woof-CE built puppies" listed

To be "official" a pup should meet these 4 requirements:
1) It must be built using Woof-CE and its build “recipe” should be on GitHub in woof-distro.
2) It must be endorsed as “official” by the Puppy Master. removed Jan 2023
All the “official” Puppies since version 2 are hosted at Ibiblio.

Note: there is no specification of which version of Woof-CE nor that the build "recipe" should be maintained and usable with other versions of Woof-CE after the release date. However, these details should be recorded inside the .iso in the puppy.sfs in /etc/DISTRO_SPECS and in files in /var/packages

Other "woof-CE built puppies" have to be built using Woof-CE but do not have to meet the other 3 requirements above.

Therefore most submissions to puppylinux.com will fall into the "other woof-CE built puppies" category.

To submit a Pull Request to change download.html a developer will need to register with GitHub.
