NOTICE!

All slacko woofers!

A long standing bug has been fixed with netpbm-tools. (32 and 64).

These tools are our alternative to the big brother Image Magik.

You will notice when you update to the latest woof-CE by pulling testing and doing 1download that netpbm-10.35.97 downloads. Of course build it in 2createpackages but if you are running slacko > 5.7 you'll need to install it to the running system.

What it fixes is the boot logo (on the final ISO image). Trivial? YES! But necessary. :)

32 bit slacko

Only the _DEV pet downloaded for me with ./1download

....had to manually download the actual netpbm-10.35.97-i686.pet and _DOC pets.

Just tested (separate box to my main machine) and all pets were grabbed. :?

Don't forget to rebuild pciutils and wallpaper too (2createpackages).

Slacko Woofers

#109 Post by Billtoo »

I woofed a new slacko-6.0.8.1 this morning and did a manual frugal install to a 32gb SDHC card, pc is an Acer laptop:

video-info-glx 1.5.3 Wed 28 Oct 2015 on Slacko Puppy 6.0.8.1 Linux 4.1.11 i686
0.0 VGA compatible controller: AMD/ATI [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470]

X Server: Xorg Driver: radeon
X.Org version: 1.14.3
dimensions: 1600x900 pixels (423x238 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.1.7

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz
Core 0: @1199 1: @1199 2: @1199 3: @1199 MHz

Built-in wireless is working:
Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01

Right click on the desktop brings up the puppy menu.

Looking good so far, will test more.

Thanks.

Edit: I added applications with PPM and compiled some stuff.
It's working well, no problems so far.

Hi Mick

There are duplicate entries for samba in Packages-puppy-slacko14.1-official

Cheers

I do a 'git pull origin testing' to update the local fork.

Then run './merge2out'

Is there an easy way to find what packages have been updated so I don't have to run './2createpackages' in it's entirety. I know how to run individual apps using this command but is there a list of the individual packages somewhere that I need to update?

Thanks

@smokey01

Check the latest commits to woof-CE and check the patches. You will soon know.

Alternatively, keep a keen eye on 1download, but that won't catch packages that I have overwritten (which I usually announce here anyway).

There is also the command git log.

Does this catch the updates?:

Code: Select all

 ./2createpackages CHANGED_ONLY
Could this be made an option once the script is run? (so more people know about it), or is there a good reason it is a bit obscure? I think it was mentioned on the forum some time ago (or the git mailing list), but I'd completely forgotten about it. Discovered it again when poking around in the script. Can't find it in any of the READMEs.

Try this next time

Code: Select all

git checkout testing
git pull --all
for f in $(git diff --name-only testing@{10.minutes.ago} testing  | grep 'woof-distro');do git diff HEAD@{1} $f;done
This will show the changes in the last pull in all the files in woof-distro/ where the package database files are kept.
You can further specify grep'ing as needed ie only for skackware or only package database files etc.

I never thought about looking for Consulting assignments on a Cruise Ship.
Great IDEA :idea:

Enjoy your time there. See you when you return to home port.

Just built slacko64-6081 for the third time. It seems libgpgme and libass* is still missing causing sylpheed to fail. Other than that the rest looks pretty good.

# echo $?

# cd sylpheed-3.4.3-x86_64/usr/bin/

I think you have the stale package in your local packages-pet repository.
