Yes.

Ok, for me apt update on the Starter kit fails :

Testing in web browser using DD bookworm lxqt.

I can see it, but get the standard "you aren't using https" Chrome error.

I get this bad certificate error when I change it to https.

Thanks. Yes, http://deb.devuan.org/merged opens for me too with Google-Chrome, but... strange, NOT with Firefox and also apt update still does not work for me with the Starter Kit.

Thanks.
Probably holland is being discriminated ! (at least by deb.devuan.org) as I said switching to pkgmaster.devuan.org works fine.
(or may have to do with my ISP... but ... deb.devuan.org isn't something like Pirate Bay).

Project ended after six years and four versions.

Thank you to everyone who participated.

Just saw this. Sorry to see it, but I understand.

Are you going to continue to support the Deblive-multi-installer installation script??

For who is interested, the latest Debian-Live Daedalus Starter Kit ISO from rcrsn51 is still available at download mirror: https://github.com/DebianDog/MakeLive/r ... -amd64.iso

This version adds an option to use lz4 compression instead of the original lzop. LZ4 claims to have much higher decompression speeds.

Select the compressor using the new Config function.

The active compression method is identified on the title bar. A file's type is now denoted with the extension ".lzop.sfb" or ".lz4.sfb". Older lzop image files still work.

The original Puppy instructions are here.

Run it off your Starter Kit install or off your ISObooter drive so you can see how the dependencies are met.

Software should be run on the platform for which it was developed.

that worked. I found Xdialog in /usr/bin/ and created a link /bin/xdialog3

is this intended as a puppy app?

that worked. had to find xdialog online and create the link /bin/xdialog3

I don't understand. My copy of vanilladpup-10-xwayland already has Xdialog. Xdialog3 is just my gtk3 version made from jamesbond's excellent port. When you ran the Starter Kit, it would have been auto-installed from Fred's repo.

Are you interested in this project because of lz4? You can easily convert the current Puppy version just by switching "lzop" to "lz4" in two places in the script. I notice that some Puppies already have liblz4, so you just need the lz4 binary, which is small.

OTOH, I don't see any interest in the Puppy threads about resurrecting Save Folder Backup.

2 questions

• Will this backup become a PET related to the above question from williwaw effort?

• Will it acquire a companion restore ability in its future?

Did you even bother to look at the Puppy version of Save Folder Backup and Restore using the link that I posted above?

Its not in my current version of PUP I'm running. So,I assume that 2017 version is doing what this announcement from you is already doing...based upon your response: True/NO?

Clarity wrote: Tue Jan 28, 2025 10:41 pm

Of course not. But a whopping 668 people in the old forum figured out how to install it themselves.

I get so tired of this crap.

Not speaking for anyone else, here: Sorry to have bothered YOU with the simplest of questions!

I see now I went out of my way to find Xdialog and was lookin in the wrong place for the wrong thing I guess
I edited my post above to clarify what works here
thanks

If you want Xdialog3, go back to the Sep 01 2023 post. There are no guarantees that it is compatible with any Puppy.

[Edit] I notice that some recent Puppies are already using jamesbond's gtk3 version, named as Xdialog.

Here is Save Folder Backup v2.1 packaged as a PET for Puppy. Look for it in the Utility menu.

The original Puppy instructions are here.

Note: The default compression tool is still the built-in Busybox lzop. The superior tool is now "full" lz4. See below.

works fine in here vanillaDpup.
drag and drop works well to spec location of files and folders. lzop is fast
more straight foreward than the vanillaDpup supplied Pupsave Backup
tx

For your convenience, I have packaged the 64bit lz4 compressor tool from Debian 12 as a PET. Several recent Puppies already have the matching liblz4 included, so this should work OOTB with Save Folder Backup. Switch to lz4 using the Config function.

Slightly older Puppies like the Fossa series need the lz4 binary from Ubuntu, attached below.

Some Slackware-based Puppies already contain lz4 and don't need an extra package.

In the posts above, I have attached updates to Save Folder Backup and PeasyPort, mostly to add progress timers on lengthy operations.

For Debian, get savefolderbackup-gtk3_2.3_all.deb and peasyport-gtk3_4.2_amd64.deb

For Puppy, get savefolderbackup-2.2.pet and peasyport-4.1.pet

Note to Puppy builders: this is the only version of PeasyPort that you should be using.

This is PeasyPDF v5.5 in Debian and Puppy packages. There are some changes to the Extract tool and a new option for 2-sided printing.

Note to Puppy users:

PeasyPDF has a number of dependencies that may not be in older Puppies.

netpbm, ghostscript, libtiff-tools, poppler-utils
image-changer and get-image-size from PeasyScale
dc from busybox

Look for PeasyPDF in Puppy's Document menu.

@rcrsn51

Thanks for this update.

I know this application was not intended for FP-95, but it works great

I did encounter a problem when viewing 'extracted' contents. The dialogue button does not open the location /tmp.

However, if I do click on the main interface 'View' button it does open the location.

This may only apply to my OS.

@Jasper did you read the button on the dialogue box? It doesn't say "View", just "OK",
a confirmation.

PeasyPDF updated to v5.4 above.
If you check "PDF" and "Range", the pages in each selected range will be extracted as a single PDF file, not separately.

@Wiz57

hahahahha.............. I feel like Mr Magoo

PeasyPDF updated to v5.5 above with some final code cleanup.
