This is the first release of Rasvuan for Raspberry Pi 2, 3 and 3+ variants. Sorry wont support Pi 1 or 0 because Devuan repo builds to target armv7; not armv6.



Download:

Installation:

[*] get a micro sd card at least 512MB (2 or 4 GB is good) and make the first partition FAT32 of size 300MB. The remainder of the card format to Linux ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs or whatever. Use GParted or your favourite CLI tools to format.

[*]Mount the first partition and copy the contents of the Rasvuan tarball to it.

If you have an internal card reader it will probably show up at /mnt/mmcblk0p1 (yours may vary) so do this:

How exciting @Mick.
I picked up my Rpi 4 yesterday. Sadly I am away again and won't have access to the 3b+.

Do you think it is worth trying on the Rpi4? My feeling is it won't work as the processor is a different version?

I can wait ...

Haha!

I made a HUGE breakthrough today.

I couldn't get any mainstream stock browsers to work including Firefox and Chromium, however I easily got Qupzilla to work and the download was only 30 M (including the necessary QT5 libs) so I think that will be the default browser in the next iteration.

That isn't the breakthrough though as Qupzilla is a bit limited in it's capabilities.

Enter Vivaldi! Works like a charm. Yes, yes I know it is proprietary but the devs over there do respect privacy (even though it is based on chromium / blink engine). I happen to know a dev there, Ruari Ødegaard (a fellow Norweigian ziggy ) formerly an Opera dev and a keen slacker (a.k.a. 'slackware fanatic') and he assures me that they de-googlify Vivaldi as much as possible. That said, I would never put proprietary software as a default in any puppy I build but I will repackage and put it in the repo.. somehow.

I've tried many a time to get Vivaldi to work in armhf, including raspup (build from woof via woodenshoe-wi) and fatdog-arm by jamesbond in the raspi 3 and an odroid -u3. Always failed. I dunno if it was user error, distro error or package error but there were errors!

Finally, a decent browser is available for raspi!

Too late for me to elaborate right now but I may get time tomorrow after work. In the meantime, drool over the teaser image .. (if you are so inclined ) ..

I canz drool 🤤
Great work ...

When you said 'Stock Browser', I thought you had become a bwanker Should have known better ... and now back to the drooling

I have temporarily borked/bricked my rpi 4 - I edited the 'bios'/boot/config.txt and no access to it ... though I have a cunning plan ...

OK gotta drool 🤤
