Is there a small Puppyfriendly p2p?

#1 Post by zigbert »

Do you know about a small p2p program that is small, do not need java or other huge libs, and fits to puppy. It's important with a userfriendly gui as the user is complete newbie.

Opera 9 would maybe solve this topic?

the smallest one I know:
Mute

Still somewhat huge due to libwxgtk, but just 1/10 of Java.

what kind of java

#3 Post by zigbert »

When we talk about p2p and java dependencies, do we then talk about Dotpup - Sun java 1.5.0 (17 megs compressed) or pupget java-jamjikescairo (9 megs compressed).

What is the difference?

I just tried azureus with Suns JRE, which is 80 MB after installation.

I did a search on freshmeat.net and came up with 'transmission' which I have packaged into a dotpup (from rpm) and attached below. The source code is available on the homepage but that requires 'jam' instead of 'make' so I took the shorter route (at least for now). See links and screenshot for more details.

Homepage
Freshmeat project page

This program requires libcrypto.so.5. I think puppy has libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (at least mine did, but i have all kinda xxxx.sfs files loaded). To satisfy this dependancy do the following (assuming libcrypto is alread in puppy)

ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.5

After installing the dotpup, you can run transmission via Start -> Dotpups - run-transmission.

Let me know how well (or not) it works.

This looks very promising.
Thanks a lot.

btw. nice desktop.
As I posted here before. I do really like smoother icon-look.

java-jamjikescairo is probably not the one you are looking for :)
There's also a Blackdown java dotpup which is smaller in size.

And Transmission looks good 8)

Please ignore this post I don't think it was the dotpup's fault
I'm just leaving the post so you understand the next two posts in this thread.

==========================================
Warning!

This dotpup does something that no dotpup should do:

It changed the focus mode from click to sloppy. Why would a transmition dotpup do that?

I think I got confused by a coincidence.

After Installing the dotpup JWM flashed and it started using the sloppy focus (where windows get focus based on the mouse position).

I then went to check the .jwmrc and saw that the focus mode was sloppy, I assumed that the dotpup had changed it. It wasn't until later that I realized that ~/.jwm/jwmrc-personal sets it to "click".

Bottom line, somehow JWM stopped using the jwmrc-personal and reverted to the settings in .jwmrc

I will edit my previous post. Sorry for the confussion.

Unfortunately, not all of jwm's behavior can be explained. It's sometimes a strange beast that is still in the process of being tamed. It's getting very close to stable, but I wouldn't consider it there yet.

Hello.

I just installed puppy linux 1.08 on my laptop yesterday,installed transmission, and i've been trying to do the symlink for libcrypto.so.5

I type in the console:

ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.5

and it returns this message:
bash: In: command not found

did I needed to install anything else?
also I installed libcrypto.so.4,do I need to remove it?

Iguana,

did you check /usr/lib/ for libcrypto.so.0.9.7 to exist there?
This is gtkfind's output doing a search for libcrypto* on my machine (after symlinking: ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.5 ):

/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.5
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/.usr_cram/lib/libcrypto.so
/.usr_cram/lib/libcrypto.so.0
/.usr_cram/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/root/.usr/lib/libcrypto.so.5

As you can see there is no libcrypto.so.4; i don't know if you must have it removed

On the other hand bash's error message lets me assume that somethin is wrong with bash itself ...

sorry for being not very helpful d.
