This thread, suggested by shankargopal is for additional software testing for inclusion in the Dpup software repository...

I will also make available, an upload area on dpup.org for uploads of tested software...please PM me for ftp account details of the Additional Software upload area.

Cheers

Bibletime 2.5 was released for Christmas so please consider updating your bibletime-2.4.1-i686-dpup.pet. Also, although your pet does work with dpup, it is missing all icons on the toolbars.

Thanks for this nice pet,
Jim

A tiny configurable image viewer organiser

edit exif:organize your collection directly in the file
I compiled it without all translation but with the doc we can get more place.
this is my default image viewer
Great fest

Thank you papos, terrific little utility...and thank you for providing the correct format, it makes it so much easier...

...Please remember guys...Dpup software must be either compiled in Dpup or use Debian binaries and have the -dpup.pet file suffix...

Cheers

Guy- are you interested in Debian packages that installed and worked with no problems, and those that don't work?

eg

w3m- textbased browser works perfectly.
Ratpoison- keyboard-only window manager: couldn't get the menus to appear.

etc

gerry

[gposil]

Yes gerry, I'm interested in both so we can build a repo that works...the successes I can add unchanged, the others I can look at and adjust to work.....or can be guided by testers...

I've been away so I missed a lot of posts on DPup progress so I don't know if this has already been brought up. As far as KDE as a desktop, would it be possible for me to test the KDE Plasma Netbook desktop on DPup? Thanks!

I have tried the Picasa 3 beta for linux DEB-package in Dpup 484beta2 and it WORKS. The link--> http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/non-free/p/picasa/picasa_3.0-current_i386.deb

To run: /usr/bin/picasa

Hmm, for you wm lovers try this karmen window manager, I found it to be lightest and most minimal wm among others, doesn't have taskbar, tray or menus, it's really bare (right click brings list of windows and there are buttons for minimize/close and double click on titlebar maximizes window.) Pet is only 96 KB, installed size 233 KB, just one binary!
karmen-0.15-dpup.pet

Here's a minimal desktop with rox panel/pinboard used:

Google Chrome works fine by installing the deb package from http://www.google.com/chrome

Debian packages from the PPM I've installed include NetSurf browser, Arora browser ( a neat little Webkit browser) and Kazehakase browser. All 3 work fine in 482.

[gerry]

w3m (text-only browser) from the debian repo worked in dpup 482, but in 484 its options setting facility doesn't work.

I think I am going to have to bring forward beta3 release....there are too many problems with the bash changes...

Later tonight beta3 will be up...please do not carry any settings over from previous versions, they will break it...beta3 is actually 485pre-alpha...alot of things are different...a new slate.

Err, gposil can you post correct pet.specs format again, I just used one generated by dir2pet, but I want to make a right click script that generates pet.specs and tar dir up, then do tgz2pet without asking anything, I had similar script for other pet packages, they only had few lines.
