Is a mainline Slacko Puppy 8.0 on its way anytime soon?

I like 01micko's Slacko releases and am interested to know if he'll be releasing another one (shortly or ever again).

Thanks.

I say no by 01micko.

Maybe someone else will do it.

There is this one:

01micko seems to spend all his time working on Woof-CE the Puppy builder.

S15Pup 64bit and 32bit is the latest Puppy version based on Slackware.

There was mention by a newbie of having a Slacko 8.3. But I think that was a scribner's error. Searching this forum, https://rockedge.org/psearch/ and general googling only reveals posts on that thread.

A new Slacko (hence 8) would either be binary compatible to Slackware 15 or Slackware-Current, designated ScPup64. Bigpup has pointed out peebee's recent build, S15, which is binary compatible with Slackware 15. peebee has also published a Slacko which is binary compatible with Slackware-Current, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=554#p554. Both are very capable Puppys and both employ the ptheming GUI developed by 01micko.

If you prefer a different Window manager, I know ScPup64 can --and think S15 can-- use the those published by peebee. You'll find them in this Section. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewforum.php?f=95. Or you can start with LxScPup64 directly, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=552#p552

For a very advanced Slackware-based Puppy employing the xfce desktop mistfire has published Quickpup, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic. ... 469#p27469. It's a remaster of ScPup64.

And there are other 'slackos' and '32-bit slackos'. All of which have come into existence because of the time 01micko spends working on 'woof -the Puppy Builder'.

There are slacko-8.2.2 Github build recipes at:

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... kware/15.0
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... are64/15.0

Will there be a released v8.2.2 ISO...or later version released from these WoofCE built-tools?

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm going to try out some of the Puppys mentioned.
