Wheezy 19-10-15

[stemsee]

I just built a fresh Wheezy using woof-ce. I have to say it built without the usual hiccups, no packages not found, no stumbling at downloading from debian.media etc. It still takes a while and must be attended (for the time being). But the iso is working rather well @ 119mb . I am not sure how many upgrades are in it, nor of how many updated packages are available but not included. But I am enthused enough by this build to manually check the most up-to-date packages available and update the packages list for the next build.

I am uploading the iso and devx now from said distro itself on a frugal install.

hi stemsee

I tried to download your wheezy iso
until now there was no problem downloading from megaupload

the wheezy iso needs a key to encrypt data
is says
"Cannot decrypt the metadata without key."

did megaupload change their access
or a can you provide this key ?

Same here.

[stemsee]

Ok, I will put it on google drive!

this a pup or a debian dog? 32 or 64?

119 mb--looks cool. (forgive my ignorance--i've never used a wheezy build, but woof ce sounds like a pup to me...). some details, please. PPM or apt-get (or whatever non-pups use ), etc.

stemsee, if you'd care to make this a stripped down version of one of your usual feature rich and enormous distros and keep the packages as separate user-installable sfs or pets, i'd be happy to host a folder or two for you.

just an idea, anyway.

Hello stemcee.

Great! Downloading now!

Just to clear things, is the following correct:

(Corrected name of pup below. Thanks to "Oscar Talks" for catching my typo.)
Pemasu stopped producing his DpupWheezies at v. 3.5.2.8 and
you picked them up starting with v. 3.5.2.9?

Thanks in advance.

thanks for the clarification, but i'm not sure what a no-editing build is. you mean as is with no updates aside from what you can download?

Hello musher0,

They are of course Dpup Wheezies but I am sure that is just a typo.

Pemasu's last one was 3.5.2.11 which was a very early Woof CE woofing I believe. I still use it as my "most frequently used" Pup. I have done lots of remastering of it and have compiled lots of packages for it. It still does everything I need including running some of the latest Chromium derivatives.

[musher0]

Thanks for the info, Oscar.

Where would I find a copy of the pemasu original you are talking about?

Thanks in advance.

BFN.

The woof version number may be stuck...I seem to recall building my wheezy 2 years ago and getting thus same version build number. But the build is very different and improved, apart from the yad-0.12

@KEubus

I have not removed or changed anything regarding the iso on mega!!!
Must be national security.

Hi.

If it's "stuck", a note of some kind would be most welcome to avoid
confusion in the user's mind. Also to recognize both pemasu's work and
yours.

Maybe something like "WheezyPup-3.9.5.11S". The "S" referring to your
work. Or whatever, as long as people don't try to mix and match your
work and pemasu's, and then come back complaining. (For ex., I noticed
the devx's from you and pemasu are quite different.)

My 2¢. BFN.

@musher0

I do appreciate your comments, but I really didn't 'do' anything in building this, apart from attending the building of it on my pc. If you download woof-ce kit you will very likely get the same build as I did without editing anything!

As I said I will build it again making adjustments to the version number and some updated packages and removals and additions including synaptic, (I think I have a way of building the status and available files accurately (work around) so that synaptic will work normally (more or less).

thanks for the feedback

Hi stemsee.

Almost forgot: the htop executable is missing (but it already has its *.desktop file in
/usr/share/applications).

Maybe I should give woof-ing it a try, just for practice.

It's a long way to woof, a very long way, musher0. Is pekwm worth the pain ?

@pelo :
"Pain" is too strong a word!! Although I'm a bit of a masochist!

To all:
Short report: after 3 ½ hours, there are 275 pet packages still missing to build the
upup Wheezy!!! It makes you appreciate your own limits, on the one hand, and on
the other hand, the talent and patience of pemasu who built the original one -- and
stemsee's!

Now where in hell -- or heaven !!! -- am I supposed to find 275 pet packages that
I am not even sure exist !!!

~~~~~~~~~~~
(Edit, next morning:)

I'm not doing this 275 times... no way!

ERROR: packages-pet/ --- blabla.pet --- does not exist.
(Generic name: blabla)
You will need to find this PET package and place in packages-pet.
Do it, then rerun this script and choose to build blabla.

(End of edit)
~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll get back to it sometime, but for now I'm having a mild laugh at what seems to be
a half-baked process when you wander off the slackware and ubuntu paths.

The only reason I'm doing this is in the hope of showing pekwm to advantage in any
efficient Puppy. To my knowledge, only WattOS has ever offered a pekwm-based
distro, and a while back at that. I don't really want to learn to "woof" an entire
Puppy just to show how great a wm pekwm is.

Have a great evening!
