Hello everyone
Everytime im in irc i join new and old server to help new members,... and i notice every single puppy old or new still dont have hexchat serverlist updated as well Geany when it comes to run a bash script so i decide to make 2 simple pets to update this bugs for allmost all Puppys hope it help all.
Thanks for the hexchat serverlist update.
EasyOS has hexchat version 2.16.1, so I don't know if the serverlist is out of date.
Anyway, I have downloaded your servelist file and it will be in the next release of EasyOS (5.6.3).
Well, I see one thing new, you have "J #puppylinux" in libera.chat, missing from the original file.

update_geany.pet overwrites the existing geany configuration file - /root/.config/geany/geany.conf - erasing all the customized user preferences.
If your intention is just to fix terminal_cmd=rxvt -e "/bin/sh "%c" (messed up quotes), you could add a sed command to a pinstall.sh script of your pet. But it's been fixed already, so latest puppy releases don't need this correction.

hello @Burunduk thankyou and yes you are right about it i should jus use a SED command but to convert to pet i didnt knew how thats why i did the pet so yes again you are right and thxx for your input
Hi Antonio:
Nice to heard of you....
Thanks for sharing these updates, but here I wanna underline my feelings with Hexchat.-
It could be a fantastic resource, but (exception made of some users... u included) it is an unuseful resource (for me at last),- No participation, No colaboration No helpful people.... If a new puppy user goes to this place to socialice.... He gonna forget puppy in a moment.
It is my sensation after days waitting for an answer.
As I said, I don't like it at all (there you can find users what are always connected but never helping)
My oppinion, oc.
I've made a sample pet. It probably only works for Fossapup64-9.5 and shouldn't change anything in other puppy distros.
The pet installs nothing but the pinstall.sh script runs anyway during the installation and tries to edit the geany configuration file.
It's maybe a strange way to run a simple command. However, this way you don't need to explain to your users how to make files executable nor how to open a terminal emulator and copy/paste to it.
hello @pp4mnklinux how are you ?
First thxx for your replay,... about old IRC channel i leave it on because i join both channels to redirect new users to the new server thats all but yeah i get it well what you mean but i remove the old server from my pet

hey Burunduk thankyou very much i just notice you did some wrong as well but i just fix it there was a extra Quotes on it terminal_cmd=rxvt -e /bin/sh "%c"
The default geany.conf file in Fossapup64-9.5 contains the line with a typo that needs to be fixed:
terminal_cmd=rxvt -e "/bin/sh "%c"
All my pinstall.sh script has is a single sed command:
sed -i 's!terminal_cmd=rxvt -e "/bin/sh "%c"!terminal_cmd=defaultterminal -e /bin/sh %c!' /root/.config/geany/geany.conf
The extra quote is here for a reason. It is the typo that sed has to find and replace. If you remove it, the script won't find it.
If you need more information about sed, you can read https://aurelio.net/sed/sed-howto/ - it's in Portuguese but I think the GNU sed manual has a better description of the sed's s command.

ohh right got it what you are saying and i didnt see full command line,...
Just updated both files and thankyou
Would be nice if puppy talked to some sort of server for any changes. so the irc client wouldnt get you to the Freenode version of #puppylinux or something
[CONCEPT]
Puppy: Hey 233.54.35.66! Any changes?
Server (233.54.35.66): Yeah, the puppylinux channel in the hexchat client moved from Freenode to Libera
Puppy: Copy that, thanks!
-Puppy closed the communication-
User: Opens the hexchat client
Puppy: Hey user, the puppylinux channel moved to another server, redirecting you there.
