I noticed there was two new dbuses added a week ago (I think). This is what the commit says:
Code: | dpup: essential fixes
address dbus, glib, cryptsetup issues
other important updates to get a nice system |
Entry in Packages-puppy-stretch-official
Entries in DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-debian-stretch
I'm guessing this new stretch one is normally used and the debian one is there as a backup, though haven't looked at how to switch to the other one to test, maybe I'll check if that fixes my warning in Hexchat and Palemoon later or makes things worse.

I downloaded pminstaller-0.2.4.tar.bz2 this morning and installed palemoon-27.6.2
Palemoon is working fine,was using Firefox-ESR-52.5.0 and that worked well.
Stretch-b1 comes with QTweb only.

Hi Billtoo & Sailor,
When doing stretch builds, are you guys getting them to turn out at all like what Radky is giving us with his ISO stretch releases? I tried awhile back, but gave up, since booting up Radky's was a lot different than booting up the builds I did. Has Woof-CE changed radically in the past 2-3 weeks with Stretch builds??

Hi belham2,
There were a lot of changes done to the testing branch in the past week or so.
It builds stretch-7.0.0b1-g4dos-altkernel-devx.iso, the iso contains the devx and an alternative kernel.

Hi belham2,
If you do a build of stretch now, or try the puduan build I uploaded a few days ago, I think your response to it will be something like this. I haven't even tried to patch the jwm-2.3.6 it pulls from Debian yet, so I'm still paranoid that everything will fall apart every time I click the menu, someday... haha. radky's Dpup Stretch 7.5 is definitely the go-to place if you want to get a polished dpup and receive great feedback I think, similar to OscarTalks and Tuuxxx's iso (and yours) in the past. I consider dpup woof-CE branch "a fun base" to work with and build upon which shines when someone makes it their own, same as it always was.

I can't get kpat to run, using Firefox-52.5.0 ESR.
It's working pretty well, dual booting from a 64gb flash drive with Stretch-700b1

http://www.mediafire.com/file/2u3k4rpkwmaba9c
md5sum: 61557bb57b8cbf7cfe273e28264c9c64
The devx is inside, the only thing I did was compile a kernel 4.4.111 nopae and use it in _00build.conf. |
I updated this iso to woof-CE commit 5805 too. No more dbus errors Trying kpat in ppm again now.
edit: ppm told me a lot of packages for kpat were missing, but they just seem to be missing _i386 or _all at the end?
edit2: reverting this change seems to fix it, for some reason: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/commit/4339f64fc850a041ad52100fde4f6c8da4fb7fbc#diff-146e3f991e891aef8e9c151f595f4d09

just tried it (fresh download-pupmode 5)
No issue with PPM.
Maybe an old savefile with outdated package database?

Hi mavrothal,
Thanks for testing! The issue is when you try to download "kpat" from ppm. It has 136 dependencies. I tried it to see what problem Billtoo had. libkf5item was just the first one it complained about, I looked it up in ppm later to see if actually existed. I tried grabbing it manually, then kpat said it only needed 135 dependencies, so I suppose you could search every package kpat wants, download them manually, then grab kpat and it will work, or just change ^ to -F for this particular package (kpat).

Not quite sure but this change appears to fix it.

I tried a "slacko current" build today with the latest woof-CE:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/kldh509odczdb
edit: Will probably do another update to it soon to refine a few libs.

Hello all.
I am beginning to understand the file database DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-xenial.
(Please keep your comments to yourselves.)
As an example:
If I wish to have a non-jwm Puppy, I put a "no" instead of a yes in front of any jwm line
in that database. Correct?
Now let's say that I wish to provide echinus as a WM instead of jwm. Please forgive my
somewhat childish questions:
-- I create in that database a new line for echinus, yes?
Something like < yes|echinus||exe >, yes?
-- Do all entries in that DB have to be in alphabetical order? My "echinus" entry will have
to be in the proper place with the files beginning with "e", yes?
I cannot place it below the lines concerning "jwm", right?
-- In field 1, do I include the full filename of the echinus pet I have available?
Or just "echinus"?
-- I leave the second field empty, since it is a pet located locally. Yes?
-- Where do I put my echinus pet in the woof-CE local structure so it is incorporated?
In /mnt/sda7/local-repositories/x86/packages-pet?
TIA for any lead. BFN.
