Hi All,
Frequently someone posts asking about a "barebones" Puppy, complaining about having to remove, add and remaster to fashion just the OS wanted, or desiring greater modularization.
I thought jemimah --hope she is and is doing well-- had eloquently addressed those concerns in her development of Saluki. Although Saluki provided OOTB the commonly employed applications, with two small exceptions --a text editor and one other-- all "user" applications [such as wordprocessors, web-browsers, video players] were contained in an adrv_xxx.sfs. Adrv_xxx.sfs, if found, would load at bootup. But you could deleted it, or moved it so that it wouldn't be found, and Saluki would still boot to desktop.
Built into Saluki as part of its operating system --that is, not in adrv-- was an application, custom-builder.sh, which enabled a mere user to access Saluki's extensive repository, download pets --and, I think, SFS-- and combine them all into one's personal adrv.
With some editing by Elroy, custom-builder was continued in Carolina.
On occasion, I've wondered whether custom-builder could be modified to function under more recent Puppies: Tahrpups, Xenialpups, and Slackos. The level of bash knowledge required to write --and consequently-- modify custom-builder is far beyond what I possess. But the logic of the application, I think, is substantially similar to what Lazypuppy's PaDS application uses. Except that unlike PaDS, Custom-builder directly accesses repositories and downloads "packages". And while PaDS generates an SFS, Custom-builder generates an adrv, which in essence is just an SFS under a name modern Puppies will automatically load on bootup.
Regarding accessing repositories and downloading packages, whatever Puppy you run does that via Puppy Package Manager. So that capability already exists in every Puppy and modifying Custom-builder to function under it may only involve calling that builtin routine.
However, Saluki's and Carolina's custom-builders looked exclusively to their extensive repositories of pets and SFSes. Tahrpups and Slackos are far more dependent on the repositories of Ubuntu and Slackware(derivatives) for their applications. Again, the routines of PPM provides for that. Other "decompression" routines built into every Pup provides for handling debs, tgzs and txzs as the case may be. [Edited Jan 18, 2017 to delete speculation later found to be in error].
Custom-builder includes a routine for determining whether any of the pets or SFSes the user wanted to include were missing any dependencies. But as I mentioned, Salukis and Carolinas only offered to include pets and SFSes from its repo, and those already had been tested and their dependencies identified [noted in pet specs?]. While again PPM does that to some extent, accessing LIstDD (or its routines) may be needed for Pups drawing from "alien" repos. And perhaps an additional routine to search for and download any missing packages which were found.
At any rate, the above are my thoughts regarding the construction of a custom-[adrv]--builder for current Puppies.
For anyone interested in trying his or her hand at creating such an application I've attached Elroy's modified version of custom-builder. Delete the false "zip" ending. Custom-build is an executable bash-script. I also added the suffix ".txt" to prevent it from accidentally being run.

Yes, but & Perhaps a better idea for Puppies
DebianDog's package managers, apt and synaptic, are much more sophisticated than Puppy Package Manager. Consequently, the apt2sfs tool doesn't, itself, have to contain a routine to check for missing dependencies. One of the really good things about the DebianDogs.dancytron wrote:It is really the same thing that the apt2sfs script does in Debian Dog. You put the package names you want in, it downloads all of them and their dependencies and makes them into an sfs that you could use for an adrive or a regular sfs.
But that suggest, perhaps, a better way to accomplish the objective of enabling a "passenger" -- to quote pelo-- to take command of the ship.
Puppy's weak point has always been the limitations of its Package Manager. As late as a week ago, I had attributed that as a necessary trade-off in order to maintain Puppy's small size. But the DebianDogs are about the same size while including apt and synaptic.
Perhaps, therefore, the best way to go about this is to figure out how to include apt and/or synaptic in Puppies. I know that can be done. Jejy69 did it in LxPup-aptget-test, https://sourceforge.net/projects/checkm ... st_Aptget/
Well, actually, I only used IIRC synaptic under Lxpup-aptget-test a few times. Those few occasions were successful. But.I didn't test its package managers extensively.. At any rate, the potential is there.

A Current Puppy with Synaptic by josejp2424
Hi All,
Thanks to Pelo's curiosity, zagreb999's interest, the Wellminded Search and google-translate, I tracked down pupjibaro jessie synaptic by josejp2424 on the Spanish Language SubForum: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 975#927975.
This is a 32-bit Puppy woofed from debian Jessie binaries. It includes both Puppy Package Manager and Synaptic. PPM is setup to access both Tahrpup and Xenialpup repos, among others. Synaptic accesses the debian jessie repos. It's default window-manager is Openbox with Lxpanel. It includes both rox and pcmanfm as file-managers with a menu entry to easily switch between which is to be the default. It has lxterminal --and IIRC urxvt-- consoles. Choosing which is to be default between them, and between other "User" applications, is facilitated by Puppy Default Application Chooser.
I should mention, Yo no hablo español.
The Puppy, however, boots-up in English. 
Josejp2424 classifies it as a beta release.
Zagreb999 reports that synaptic was unable to accomplish some of the installations he tried. But those seem primarily to be attempts to install other Window managers.
So far my only effort to use synaptic was to install openshot video editor. That went smoothly. Openshot functioned but reported that frei0r plugins were absent. Synaptic quickly found and installed them.
I'll explore some more when I can think of other applications I want. This is difficult as josejp2424 seems to have built pupjibaro jessie synaptic to my specifications. Perhaps flowblade video editor as it involves installing about a half-dozen dependencies.
The gimp Josejp2424 included was only at version 2.4.5 Gimp is now up to 2.8.(16?). I could find no easy way to remove 2.4.5. Remove Builtin didn't list it. So I decided to install Gimp 2.8.(7?) using PPM from Tahrpup's repo. That worked and default chooser enabled me to select it as default for several operations. 2.4.5 was sill listed and showed up on the menu, but would not run. I removed the menu entry using Menu>Setup>Menu Editor.
As I still find mtpaint useful for some quick tasks and prefer mtpaint-snapshot for taking screenshots, I installed the former from (I think) Tahrpup's repo and the snapshot module from a pet I made/stored out of (I think) 01micko's bash-script.
Although pupjibaro synaptic currently lacks Rox-App capabilities, I was able to use Shinobar's Wine-portable: Just entered its folder and clicked "register".
Similarly, the following applications I maintain as "External Program Folders" could be run simply by clicking their executables, or added to the menu by pets I built for that purpose: foxit(pdf)reader, Cool(epub)reader, and seamonkey and (firefox)light web-browsers.
Both slimjet-12-tahr.sfs (built, i think by Mike Walsh) and Oscar Talks' Vivaldi-1.5.sfs could be loaded and functioned. Also LibreOffice-5.1.6.sfs.
As I said, it's difficult for me to find a reason to employ synaptic. And I'm not sure what its limitations might be. But it is clearly possible to include it in Puppies. Pupjibaro-synaptic's ISO was only 287 Mbs.
Well worth testing and further development. Perhaps by including (modified as necessary) the many fine applications saintless and fredx181 have provided for the DebianDogs to build and manage SFSes.
Edit: Having decided that a specific thread for discussions about pupjibaro jessie synaptic might be worth while, I've started one here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 753#940753

Hi mikesir !
Really fascinating idea .
This is worth in my opinion to keep this concept as an actual topic alive and bring it into the awareness of Puppy users and skilled programmers .I am not .
Quote------"It is really the same thing that the apt2sfs script does in Debian Dog. You put the package names you want in, it downloads all of them and their dependencies and makes them into an sfs that you could use for an adrive or a regular sfs."----Quote.
These type of downloading and converting downloaded Apps/Programms to sfs Modules is quite handy and save .
I find this apt2sfs in Debian Dog total useful and and is exactly what i was always looking for , because i prefer the modular use of Programs/Apps more than installing them . Keeps the main Os small and gives more stability---so i think.
I like this modular "Lego" concept .Small core Os expanded modular .
Your suggestions would lead to a "Debianising" and "Ubuntufication" of Puppys......
Debian Dog and (Ubuntu type) Xenial Dog went the other Direction......
puppyfying mini-Debians and mini-Ubuntus....very ,very clever and useful.
In my Opinion a very innovative step (the best thing since sliced Bread ......
Cheers !

Re: A Current Puppy with Synaptic by josejp2424
That's a common problem even in Debian proper. One of the rare incomplete dependencies. With Openshot for the full experience you also need inkscape (full version) and blender ... and where the blender version works with the Openshot version (as different versions can result in not being able to render 3D titles).mikeslr wrote:So far my only effort to use synaptic was to install openshot video editor. That went smoothly. Openshot functioned but reported that frei0r plugins were absent. Synaptic quickly found and installed them.
Yet another shortfall is that blender 3D titles might not use a transparent background and instead have a grey background and you have to edit the py (python) scripts to add in certain edits to the blender script(s) to correct that (haven't the link to hand, will edit if I can pin that down).

package downoader synaptic works in a Puppy
i was asking for translation, the cause seems to be about english not found in locale.
