I read about it today a kmandlas blog: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/things-we-all-know/ It's a tool for building Slitaz-Packages from Arch pkgbuild. URL: http://labs.slitaz.org/projects/show/tazarch Is this something that is interesting to adapt for puppy? Is it possible to adapt? please comment! aragon _________________ PUPPY SEARCH: http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html |

I would say yes and no, yes you adapt just about anything to puppy and no because Arch uses the latest backends, I would say glibC would be too outdated, etc ttuuxxx _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games

In other words linux obseletes itself every few months......and people complain about windows updates  ...first thing I disable after installing.
Not sure where this 'puppy compatible with every distro ' is heading...surely compiling just for puppy should be the way ...or is this considered too unreliable...broken gtk2 comes to mind? mike |

naaaa mike Arch oudates itself look at slackware, they change about every 2yrs, Slackware 11, 12 was around for a long time. Arch is really a different type of Linux, some might go as far as to say a heartless distro. They don't cater for older versions like we do. etc

Hey aragon I already packaged it if you want to test it out PM me A big thanks for the tip 
I dis assembled slitaz when it came out but didnt think I could cross over the package tools , but after doing it for slackware I gave it another try and got it working
how about installing tazpkg on puppy ! Done! 
*I was interested in slackware packages * but you could also install from arch Joe

Where's the beef, Joe? I mean, send me a copy! mikeb, you are absolutely right in my book -especially because Puppy "goes its' own way" in so many things, the right thing to do is build it all from scratch. Yes it is a lot of work, but is the *only* way to control the outcome. There are tools which make it a lot easier. If only we had a sensible package standard and tools to work with them -we have a "new" package standard and an all-new toold for installing packages, but we still have no method for removing or upgrading packages -WTF??? I think the current woof build strategy using any one of several distros as a base only dilutes everyone's efforts even more and makes it that much harder to debug and (perfect??) any one of the builds. It really would be much simpler and more effective to build the whole thing from scratch and build things exactly as puppy wants/needs to have them. |

@ joe although vegetarian, i want it too
@ all sure, building puppy-packages from source is allways the best way to go and the only way to prevent compatibility-problems and such. and yes, that is also my preffered way. but looking at new/other ways is exciting at least for me. so yes, if there's a way to install slitaz packages, i want to try it. and yes, if there is a way to use arch-recipes or slitaz-recipes to build puppy-packages, i want to try it. it's just the same interest the let me try slapt-get/gslapt some time ago .... aragon _________________ PUPPY SEARCH: http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html |

Hey amigo ,aragon you will need to have the full xterm installed I fixed that some time ago here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=758646243&t=38721 the third post updated 2-23-09 ------------------------ xterm patched and a libs patch http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/big_bass/libxcb-X11R7patch-2.0.pet http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/big_bass/libtermcap-1.2.3-i486-7.pet http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/big_bass/xterm-232-i486-patched-1.pet why? there are some xterm commands not recognized by the rxvt link thingy so to avoid re writing all that install the above pets and it works now allowing to remove packages note :to me I have to recompile those packages and upload them to slaxer Joe _________________ slackware 14 |
