We know what the Official puppies are because they are the ones that Barry has claimed are official. Both Slacko and Precise are official puppy releases. The rest are just puppy releases. This has been debated before, but in the end Puppy is Barry's thing, so he gets to decide.koulaxizis wrote:How can we tell which is an "official" release. I, for example, could say that official release it's a Puppy without binaries from another distro. You could say "Slacko" and someone else could say "precise". If there is no a main guideline, how can we work together and do something that matters?Q5sys wrote:If a team of people got together they could take a Official release (like Slacko), and create a ton of SFS packages so users could easily update and expand their system.
But has anyone in the community stepped forward to do this? Not yet sadly.
For puppy to grow and encompass more users, we need more people to get involved in the creation. Right now the development work is spread too thin. If I had more time, I'd be willing to pitch in, but I dont. I'm behind in the dev work I'm planning to do with Slackbones and Lighthouse.
I'm willing to help guide someone who is willing to put forth the effort to expand the offerings of Slacko.
You say that you work on Lighthouse and Slackbones. There are so many derivatives that noone knows where to put his energy and good will to help! Users and developers are devided on one million different sides!
As for me, I focus strickly on 64bit puppies. That's why I am working with Lighthouse (what I use on my machine), Slackbones which is my test bed, and Fatdog. There is a VERY small 64 bit dev community right now. All three of those verisons are all based on Slackware and share alot of pieces.
No, you cant have a PC that's too new for puppy.kanellia wrote: So, my PC could never be too old for puppy but it can be too new for it?
