In the README.txt of the woof alpha2 archive, Barry sayd we can build woof on other versions of linux providing we have the dpkg-deb in /bin and lzma in /usr/bin.
The download script calls for pet2tgz however to deal with pet packages, which is puppy specific. Am downloading now in Ubuntu, and of course I don't have it. So I pulled it from a puppy sfs file, along with truncate, the program Barry wrote to go along with it. Download is working fine now. Would be good to put this in the docs for the next woof release.

I don't use ubuntu but
I do have a puppy package build environment on slackware 12.1
since there are no how to s
you will need to step though each line of script and see whats called
in my case I had to recompile the kernel for squashfs support
and also add scripts to handle sfs and 2fs
also note some scripts are called that are used only on puppy
and others are installed in different locations so you may need some symlinks too
you may run into problems if any modules are built with a different kernel
so you need to know how to hack around that
that one took me a few days to figure out
aufs and unifons may be called
but that could be made as just a standard folder
the burner setup will have to be adjusted to your system
but anyway that's just some of what I went through
hope that can be of some help
I already had this set up for a few months as I was compiling
package from source on slackare then converting the packages to pets
there arent many around here doing this sort of stuff
so its a lonely road I just found out yesterday that my USB memory is large enough
but my RAM isnt so I have to build on slackware 'cause I was running out of RAM space
I will let you know what snags I run into the package part I had worked out
and the building of the packages
~dinky don't forget that hack I added to 2createpackage or you'll be building a few extra times : D
