Sometime ago I also was interested that a Puppy be created symbiotically using Arch Linux primarily because that distro is a rolling release enabling upgrades to its core and the building of applications to the hardware you have. I lost that interest when Amigo's script2pkg was brought to my attention. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 637#518637.
Either iguleder chanced upon that thread, or Amigo's, or independently reached the conclusion that Puppy should remain Puppy, but develop an Arch-Like way of developing packages from source and maintaining a repository of scripts to do so. Better yet, he has initiated a project to do that:

See also his work on simplifying the build of kernels.

Modest of him not to mention it.
Frankly, I think this is the way to go, as Puppy "trumps" Arch if a small, frugally installable, expandable-as-needed via SFSes, user-friendly distro is the objective.
