I want to build Ubuntu-Jammy64 similar to FossaPup64-9.5

I was recently able to build Ubuntu-22.04-Jammy64-x86_64-Kernel-5.15.x locally on my laptop with the help of @dimkr and others.
I would like to continue with my PET project and enhance the Ubuntu-Jammy64 pup to include all the features and packages that FossaPup64-9.5 had.
Could members who have had experience in building Pups please point me in the right direction...
Questions:
1. Where could I find the build Scripts used to build FossaPup64-9.5 ?
2. At the minimum having access to the main .conf files from the old-puppy will greatly help in understanding packages that needs to be built
Need help. Please post your suggestions...

You should find most info you need in:
puppy_fossapup64_9.5.sfs /var/packages
e.g. DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS woof-build.conf woof-installed-packages

@peebee Thanks for the helpful tips.

While you have access to FossaPup64-9.5's var/packages folder, it may be useful to copy the entire folder. It consists of text-readable files. Having it without having to file-browse into FossaPup64-9.5 again may save you some time. The content of each file in the 'builtin_files' folder is a list of files which were installed by that application and the location to which each such file was installed.

@mikeslr Thank You. That's some very useful information you have provided.
I am running my build on FossaPup64.9.5 platform itself. With your approach, I will now be able to compare the newly built Pup when it is up & running with the old FossaPup.9.5.
To make it clear for others to follow:

Haven't had my 2nd cup of coffee yet. So haven't tried to digest your last post. But after my last it occurred to me that it's likely Jammy64 is created using a woof recipe more like VanillaDpup than the original Fossapup64. If so, it will lack a lot of the original Fossapup64's Right-Click and other tools. See my post here, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 513#p69513.
A lot of manual labor went into creating Right-Click tools. It involves adding files to /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith and sometimes /etc/xdg/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types. I never did get "Create a pet package" right so took the easy way out substituting "Make pet". And while sfs-load works there must be a better way which will display a nice icon. Decompressing the pet from the above link might be helpful in trying to recapture what philb666 had in the original Fossapup64.
If you do work in this area and figure out how to overcome the hurdles of SFS-Load and Create a pet" that I couldn't, let me know and I'll revise the RightClicks-Van pet (and change the title).

I have been able to merge Packages from FossaPup64-9.5 into woof-CE build of Ubuntu-22.04-Jammy64 distro.
File DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-jammy is being modified by changing field value from 'no' to 'yes' for the packages that existed in the old one but ignored in the latest woof-CE build.
yes|jwm|jwm|exe,dev,doc,nls
In some cases, I have to add lines as they do not exist in the new distro. It is a lengthy process as we are looking at 600-800 lines that needs to be reviewed.
Question:
1. How can I run the Build Scripts 0..1..2..3builddistro again & again ?
2. Is there a cleanup script or -REBUILD option build into the scripts ?
3. I have been deleting all of the following folders and starting fresh every time.
Code: Select all
local-repositories
woof-CE
woof-out_x86_64_x86_64_ubuntu_jammy64
4. Any pointers on how to bring about the look & feel of old FossaPup ?
5. Do I need manually figure out every .conf file and manually add ICONS, Commands etc to make this happen ?
I will post the Distro here once it is built with all the known FossaPup packages added to Ubuntu-Jammy Pup.
Also, I am thankful for the help I am getting in making this happen. I am learning... but it is still a long... long... way to go.

./0setup
./1download
./2createpackages for a single package or all packages
./2createpackages -downloaded for thoses packages just downloaded - but check /status/download_list is sane
./support/findpkgs to do a build check after a change
maybe the zz_ pets in http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... s-fossa64/ provide clues....
use petbuilds in preference to "yes" for e.g. jwm - that maybe why they are set to "no"
