See for yourself, it doesn't work!

OK let's try this again
I'm responding to a post from nilsonmorales
above that has a
script to setup your git variables and download a(ny) repo.
The scripts reads 8 lines from the end:
Code: Select all
echo -n "Repo URL: "
read repo
git clone $repo
and I comment
BTW to clone woof-CE at the "Repo URL: " script prompt type:
Code: Select all
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE.git
So in the
context of the script in discussion the url becomes code.
You can find many more lines of code like this in any download script I believe.
Please go ahead and start picking on the authors if you still think that these are URLs and not code.
Happy New Year.

@mavrothal:
Hey man, I'm not picking on anyone. Sorry for any confusion.
I just want to download the Woof git as can be done with pekwm, for example, and
give it a try. I tried to download the packages the way I do with pekwm, and it doesn't
work. That's my context.
Happy New Year to you too.

Be advised that downloading the zipped file from the woof-CE github page (clicking on the "Download ZIP" button) will get you a static snapshot of the master branch of the repository. Will
not clone the repo. ie you will not be able to track/commit/push any changes you make, see the other branches, update the repo etc.

Hello.
Thanks for your "advisory".
At this time, I only wish to study how a Puppy can be built, I do not wish to contribute. (Perhaps in due time.)
Now that I have the full package installed, how do I get the developers' recent edits?
Through the "git clone" command? Thanks in advance.

If you have cloned the repository (and not just downloaded the zipped archive)
will get the latest updates. Go to the testing branch by
for the bleading edge changes.
BTW Karl Godt
has 3 posts on using git/github. Take a look.
Is 2014 already...
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone

lol Id wait ten days either way.... funny JB.. have not read to much of this thread since I cant get to internet for a git pull. everything phone based and the phone company is starting to corrupt my larger iso downloads.
is there 64bit work underway? not related to fatdog.
oh there it is a few posts up... downloading this now hope the phonecompany is not going to have me burn up my extra data on multiple attempts. Could not get Ubuntu to download without stopping somewhere between 40 to 70 percent..
yeah for small size... finished fine and now to boot windows8 to move it from my phone..

If the
woof-CE slacko64 mailing list is not sufficient for slacko64(-pre-alpha), may I suggest a "slacko64 unofficial" thread till Mick announces it in the forum?

I saw the post by James and then the item in the screenshot, guess you need to change the "testers welcome" part?

I certainly do not mean to discourage any testing.
But this being a woof-CE thread is focusing on woof issues and testing woof-CE changes on specific subjects or build processes.
If every woof-CE built puppy was discussed/tested here, would be a useless mess.
Was mentioned
some time back in a similar occasion.
Most important, your contribution may go unnoticed/hard-to-find here.
Both Mick and BK pointed to the woof-CE mailing list for slacko64 related discussion (as shown in your screeny too).
