So many of you remember gposil's dpup project, it was going pretty well but was discontinued because of gposil's problems.
Last version was dpup484 beta 4 and it's pretty neat.
So yeah I just updated some libs and gtk to be more compatible with newer application versions but keeping the same kernel and Xorg version for now.

What's updated:

glibc 2.13
glib 2.28.6
pixman 0.20.2
cairo 1.10.2
pango 1.28.4
atk 1.32.0
gtk 2.24.4
gnutls 2.10.5 / libtasn 2.9 / libcrypt 1.4.6 / libgpg-error 1.10

systray icons:
network_tray 2.4.3 Mick's version,
firewallstate 1.8 ,
freememapplet_tray 2.2-2 Mick's version

precompiled seamonkey 2.0.14 and current flash player

libevent 2.0.11 / transmission 2.22

Development headers for all of these updates added to devx.
I also added git (devx from 484 didn't have it?)

I changed wallpapers and some themes but basically it's same old dpup484 with this stuff updated.

Iso is here: dpup-485.iso 171 MB md5sum
Devx: dpup-devx_485.sfs 139 MB md5sum

Some additional pets:

pidgin-2.8.0-i686-dpup485.pet
gqview-2.0.4-i686-dpup485.pet
gimp-2.6.11-i686-dpup485.pet [needs gegl-0.1.2-i686-dpup485.pet and babl-0.1.2-i686-dpup485.pet ]
filezilla-3.4.0-i686-dpup485.pet [needs wxGTK-2.8.12-i686-dpup485.pet ]

Also some additional GTK engines and DEV/DOC/NLS pets for these apps listed can all be found here:

Once again thanks to russoodle for hosting space. Smile

For DRI acceleration I use this deb from lenny:

Still have to see which SDL fits best.

If someone has the kernel sources used to compile dpup484's kernel 2.6.30.5 please upload them somewhere.

Hi Dejan,
I made some pets for Audacious 2.4.4 music player, I ran fixmenus in
the terminal and restarted x to get the menu entry to show up,maybe
just restarting x would have done it.
Audacious has an extra stereo plugin that sounds nice on my speakers.

Thanks for pets Billtoo, it's running on my system ATM (see screenie attached)

Are these compiled or taken from debian repo and which one? lenny/squeeze?

For refreshing menus this should be enough:

Thanks dejan!
It's very heartening to see that the dpup gposibilities are still growing. This may just be what is needed for a few 'projects' I have in mind,
Cheers!

Frugal install on a Compaq DC5100, Intel 3.0gig, 2.5gig ram.

I took the easy way out with Aqualung, used debian-lenny-main in PPM and added libwavpack, libmodplug, libavcodec and libavutil from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libs/.

FF4 runs fine from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/.

Got Icewm from debian-lenny-main in PPM

I made pets of x file explorer version 1.32.3,it also needs
the fox-1.6.43-i686.pet installed.

I had to leave out the kde icon theme in xfe to keep the size of the pet
under the 2mb limit for uploading to the forum.

cthisbear did you try the mentioned frisbee tool?

Billtoo, xfe is nice, your pets work here.

Hey dejan, I just got 2.6.32.40 compiled with BFS and all the goodies we had in Squeeze back then Smile

Want me to upload it?

Iguleder, what do I need to do to integrate it into 485? Just replace kernels or do I need to modify initrd.gz or something?

Iguleder · Posted: Tue 10 May 2011, 13:37 Post subject:

You need to edit the initramfs, replace all kernel modules with the new ones and add their dependencies. Then, you need to replace vmlinuz and add the rest of the modules to the /lib/modules of the main SFS. Once the modules are there, you need to run depmod to generate their dependencies.

Quite complicated. Tough case ... but maybe I'll find some time to play with it this weekend.
