I made a simple HTTP wrapper for gene and almost lost it when some data accidentally got deleted from my hard drive. I decided to dedicate a section on my site to source code, so if anyone wants to look at it here it is. If I make anything else that I think might serve a use to others I will upload it here also.

Liboicl - should those addresses still work? The ftp asks for a user name and password, and the http just gives an error page...

I am considering making this feature request:

"Change the name of vala to "Pencil"
...It just seems more correct...
  • User: What did you write it in?
    Me: Pencil
    User: Oh.... so that's why you need to keep rewriting it - it must be fading
    Me: Something like that.
Warning: convert your vala code to C before you upgrade to a new version of vala (in other words make an "ink" copy)
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

Automated Universal Installer preposal

#504 Post by RedRavid »

The existing Universal Installer asks questions it doesn't need to.
For example it gives a list of all the possible installation media when it could detect what you have available instead.
So do you think i should create AUI and do you have any other suggestions.
P.S I would like to write it in Genie code.

My server was taken down. If anyone has a suggestion of a good cheap host I can have the code back up quickly.

Go for it
My suggestion is an easy toggle for the
'Do not run as root' drones,
so they can they switch between
root and password restricted user status

That's all very well lobster, but Puppy needs to be set up first so that he can run as a restricted user.

Code: Select all

rxvt -e su spot
will allow you to run as user spot

Kirk in fatdog also ensures downloads
to a download folder,
that might be a good program toggle

Another useful program might allow one to edit the menus
or use various preselects, such beginner, simple, advanced 8)

Pcreole can be used as a programming/compiling environment

#510 Post by mcewanw »

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 392#513392
mcewanw wrote:Latest version uploaded:
Pcreole 1.0.2

Changes:
- The "t" button now opens both an rxvt and a rox filemanager window at the selected directory.
- many extra commandlines (and some fixed old ones) with brief explanation header added to the Combo box list
- find more commands to add yourself from, for example, http://www.commandlinefu.com/
----

Note that Pcreole, with a suitable commandline etc, is also designed to provide a (unsophisticated) programming environment for compiling (e.g. with gcc, Vala, Genie etc)

Where can I get the latest version of Vala for Puppy Lucid 5.28?

The last two versions are 0.15.2 and 0.16.0

Thanks

Thanks

However the version at dotpups.de is 0.7.5 and the one at bkhome.org is 0.9.1. The one in my Lucid 5.11 is 0.9.2

Perhaps I should have asked if there is a pet or binary tarball available for a newer version of Vala?

http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Progra ... fluppy013/

Vala 0.12 and Valide 0.7.1.
There is a Vala 0.18 or so already, but the IDE requires 0.12.

Compiled in Fluppy 013, so might work or not in dpup or other puplets. I just use Fluppy at moment.

The "Crashfix" pet I needed on my netbook with a freshly set up system, because valide 0.7.1 crashes with a gtksourceview error, when I try to open a .gs file with the internal editor.

With the fix it works, it replaces the autocompletion with the older one from valide 0.4.

On my desktop system this is not required, but I actually cannot reproduce why.

I also uploaded a Picturebrowser 0.7 as a standalone setup for Windows 7 64 Bit.
It fixes a memory error on Windows and includes all required Gtk2 DLLs.
