I did a build of stretch-7.0.0b1-g4dos-altkernel-devx.iso today, I
added applications with PPM, also installed JWMDesk-2.4.2.pet.

No problems so far.

EDIT:I installed kpat,kiriki,and kshisen with PPM but they wouldn't run until I installed dbus-1.12.2.tar.gz from BLFS.
Kpat etc run fine in Dpup-Stetch-7.5 CE.

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,

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 did a Puduan b1 build:

Added applications with PPM,changed kernel.
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

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).

Mav,

Not sure if I mentioned but it's good to see you back!

I tried a "slacko current" build today with the latest woof-CE:

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.

Hi musher0,

I think you got the jist of it. I would also do step 2 here
