That looks good. Is it meant to be accessed by a software installer script, by the public, or by registered users only?
I am guessing that the box at the left explains what the package is about.
Puppy Website: Package Lists
@HairyWill: If you search for a category, it gives out all the packages in the category.
@Raffy: The access can be set. I have found a way to make it accessible to the public. If you access this link:
http://hardkap.net/puppyrepo
you dont need to enter a separate userid password to login.
The textbox that comes on the left side when you click a package can be used for the description. Whodo and myself were discussing on this. It would be great if we have a volunteer or a team of volunteers to write up and update descriptions for these packages. An id with special access to update the description can be created for this purpose.
Since MU already has the packages organized in a reasonable manner, I was thinking if we could install this script into his current repository, then we could have this as a Puppy repository until we finalize all the things we want to do (like digital signing and stuff). I have PM'ed MU, but didnt get a response back. He must be very busy.

@Prit
Mu has puppyfiles.ca which is the Canadian side of his servers and is up to date with regards to PSI files.
Maybe MU will agree to a test run here at puppylinux.ca before this goes to his main server in Germany.
Hey..just a thought in case there is a problem. That way a fix is only here not the main server.
Best,
Eric
PS I'll catch up on Skype.

The

Well Guys I personally like the layout of
http://www.linuxpackages.net/
Basically you select which version of slackware and do a Name search or the packages can be listed by how popular they are, And users can rate the packages from 1-5 stars
basically a easy way to know if a package is not working right is by the start levels. How simple that is.
Plus uses can log in and upload packages, I'm not sure how you guys feel about that, Maybe only trusted users get passwords?
The best way to find out what you like is always to look at other sites, Then you get a great picture how things are done.
well thats my 2cents

Hi,
Just thought I'd put together a couple of 'example' html based listings which might be of interest..
The idea would be to link with the relevant URL's to the respective Puppy repositories the 'name' of each package listed in the "Formal name" column - or maybe the 'link' URL could be to another html page which holds the relevant repository URL's..
Anyway - just my 0.2c's of brain bashing..
