I still think we should be compiling as i386 and not i486 due to the fact every puppy release on distrowatch says that puppy is i386 and also that Upup is based on i386 etc. plus with --enable-shared --enable-strip usually helps unless your building a static library.

I came across this Ubuntu/Debian package search program, It looks really good, I'm not using upup/dpup right now so I can't get it going, but I reduced the size of the package and made a pet, you'll probably need apt-cache installed, but really it looks real good. Smile

Cool ttuuxxx,

Handy info. I've still got plenty to learn. Smile

Cheers

Thanks for the effort you put into making this popular set of games available in a small package

I downloaded and installed without any problems yesterday and my wife discovered a few more features available than in the ubuntu build, more options in the view feature, different skins etc

Thanks again for the time and effort

I posted this elsewhere. I am posting it here also per chance it will get attention of the likes of ttuuxxx.

Problem description:
Using either the openoffice 3.1 sfs pack at
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=2012614851&t=42094
or a downloaded and extracted one from openoffice.org, x freezes upon clicking soffice, swriter, etc in jauntypup 476. This makes the computer unusable unless one forces a manual reboot.

I know this has been reported already but I haven't come across any fix yet. I hope someone with the right knowledge will tackle this.

Cheers.

Guys, thanks for the contributions for Upup.

As everyone knows, WhoDo has retired from Package Coordinator role, so I will test these packages soon and get them uploaded to ibiblio.org.

They will be in the pet_packages-5 directory, and the Puppy Package Manager will list them in the 'puppy-5' repo. ...this will be for the next alpha, um, what are we up to, alpha10 (perhaps I should stop numbering the alphas like that, use the version number instead, such as "479alpha").

You need to :
download the Oldersfs.pet [http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42722&start=60] and you need enough space on your system to drop the old sfs file on the Drop-older-sfs file which will be in root. This will put a new folder in root containg the files.

Then you can open a terminal and type dir2sfs "name of the folder". This will create a sfs which will be compatible with upup476.

I've also done this by opening the older sfs in a Puppy 4 system and copying the contents to a folder. Then I would reboot into Upup476 and use the dir2sfs command as above.[/url]

gcolor2 has no saved colors. How can i get them? I looked and can't find a file.

Simply create a link to rgb.txt found in /usr/share/X11 to /usr/lib/X11 and gcolor2 will find the saved colors.
