portable small tools' list

Post by darksun »

Hi,

I am writing to post/request taking inspiration on this software
viewtopic.php?p=3107#p3107

The purpose of this thread would be to have a shared place where to upload and download useful small utilities that could be used by as many linux users as possible.

I was wondering whether there is, or could have been made, a list of (.pet) applications that are:

a) very small in size, not big software;
b) army swiss knife kind of software, utilities;
c) that are portable: with dependencies either built-in within the binary or included in the majority of linux distros, puppys or not.

If a .pet packaged is "opened" with an archive software (xarchiver) a person can extract the binary file and it could be the only thing you would need, if the developer has included/embedded everything inside it. I guess.

I have this page bookmarked
https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... es-noarch/
but lots of them do not meet the "c" criteria; and some of them corrupted some jwm/rox config of mine when tried on different puppy version (bookwormpup, vanilla dpup and so on).

An idea would be to have, if possible and in one place to download them, all those useful little tools included in eg bookwormpup , fossapup.
I am already aware that this list would be a small one, for a start.

I have already browsed the pinned thread here

There is an existing collection of 'no-arch' applications available here:

https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... es-noarch/

Also, there is a 'statically linked' binary 'C' repository shared here:
