Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Has this Puppy been updated since the official release? I'm thinking how peebee has updated his Bionic 32 version. I know Bionic reached EOL end April this year (I think)so should be nice to have all the updates until now.

@amethyst :-

The 32-bit variants are all peebee's work, who is ferocious about keeping stuff up-to-date. The 64-bit 'buntu Pups were mostly all Phil B's work.....and Phil has dropped off the radar. And they perhaps got a few updates early in their life-cycle, and that was that.

I guess Phil took the same view as most Puppy users have for years; you want updates, you install a newer Puppy. That's how the system worked for many years; this business - like with peebee and dimkr - of keeping a Puppy updated while it's still 'current' is a fairly recent thing (and only with certain devs). It's the same with KLV 'Airedale', and wiak's recent Arch-based builds are rolling release anyway (so constantly updated).

So, no; with Bionicpup64, what ya see is what ya get, I'm afraid.

Okay, so then I'll proceed with Bionic 32-bit.

amethyst,

The major reason for updating is security while surfing the web. The foundation for that is openssl. Ubuntu has recently published two debs relating to openssl for its "Bionic64":
openssl_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/367327834 ... _amd64.deb
and
libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.22_amd64.deb at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/661850566 ... _amd64.deb

Especially considering how we both run our Puppys, you could install those debs and remaster. Bionicpup64 can run any current web-browser.

I downloaded or built 127 other applications that run under Bionicpup64, I think more than any other Puppy. Let me know of any application you may want.

Thanks, I'll install the 2 debs and then save the changes to the adrv.

Bionicpup64 has a few updates provided by the Quickpet program.

Quickpet -> Info -> Bionicpup updates

Mainly bug fixes and a few improvements.

The update of Bionicpup64 is Puppy version Fossapup64 9.5

@amethyst
I believe that "Bionicpup64-8.00" dtd approx 29Jul2022 was the latest.

Where is the download for it?

I think you are talking about Bionicpup32 8.0.

Bionicpup64 8.0 in the Puppy repository is released 2019-Mar-14.

@bigpup I have a copy of that iso if you so desire. Please let me know how to send it to you if so.
