Hi People,

You are being baited..let the moron rest in peace..we've seen this before.

@moron...what's your alias..you've been here before to be..well..a moron...as usual, learn to spell and goodbye. I would hope the mods delete this one as it's the same as the other one...sheesh

hi tombh

count me in too, hope Barry gives this seeeerious consideration for including in Puppy

Just the kind of small smart prog future puppy & its development needs IMHO - excellent

Can you have a look here, and see if there's anything you can do?

Seems like bumptop/& a certain nameless os's tabletop demo [bumptop copy?] from a few years ago - big stretch, but that sort of links with 3D compiz, yes?

FYI, I did send John and email last week and he said he'd check it out when he got a chance, probably over the weekend.

Petch doesn't know what's inside the packages. If people created lists of the package contents (like is output by dir2pet, I believe), then Petch could parse them and build a database of what has what, but I think that might be going a bit beyond the scope of Petch, and isn't very feasible at the moment unless somebody wanted to download every package in the repos to create the lists. Not too out there, but still...

We'll definitely want to do something like that when we next improve the package management system itself though. It could be built in that way.

I don't understand why you only pick on me. Review the preceding posts.

Now back to the petch business
Pets with exactly the same name and having different sizes an on the same repository at first sight is very confusing.

Try petch real.

I was more referring to petch libxyz. Not necessarily disecting the package to "know" what libs are needed, but to directly get the libs when known.
Maybe from ttuuxxx's library page.

@Aitch: Counted! Thanks ;)
@Pizzasgood: okay.
@trapster: lib files, shouldn't be too hard, the only thing stopping that at th moment is the fact that I've put a filter on that only allows .pets, so releasing that filter will release everything, which isn't so bad, but there are some nonsense files out there that no-one wants to see in their search results -- but perhaps that's a small price to pay. Okay, here's a real geeky question, does anybody know the regular expression for lib files?
@Béèm: Yeah, overcoming that kind of thing is only really something we can do with a radical overhaul of the whole package management system I'm afraid. Which will happen.

Hi Beem,

No..I was referring to the kid that couldn't spell (moron..now banned I hope) as baiting this thread and to cut HIS crap..not you...sorry if I was not clear. I always listen to your posts and find them useful.

EDIT: This is a perfect example of the need for voice contacts..sorry Beem..I should have been more specific.

To reassure everybody, Eric and myself have sorted out the issue.
No hard feelings.
I appreciate the valuable work Eric is doing for providing a nice repository.
Hope in the north where he lives the server will not freeze in the winter.
