DD (openbox)/XenialDog General Discussion Thread

You seem to be 'a touch' pompous, but never mind. EDIT: Come to think of it, your choice of using a pompous-looking bust of Shakespeare tends to suggest your own image of yourself (not only the Stratford connection). I imagine you look nothing like that of course but: Good luck.

Hi rcrsn51,

I'm happy that you've taken an interest in "The Debian Dogs". I'm sure they will benefit from the experience and technical expertise you brought and applied to Puppies.

But I suspect that as mere 'passengers', such as myself, have a learning curve figuring out how to best make use of the tools included in 'the Dogs', there may be some adjustments for those who can create applications.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, 'the Dogs' don't have devxs. Rather, I think, using either apt or synaptic, you'd have to install the same applications that you would install if you were trying to create under a "Full Install" Ubuntu or debian; or use the Apt2SFS tool to create an SFS of those applications rather than install them.

There was some discussion (I'm not finding it to link to) of not having the devx anymore because if you have one, then you've got to keep it up to date. So, instead of having a devx, just use apt2sfs to create one or just install the stuff that you need.

Maybe Fred will chime in with a list of the programs that he would have put in a devx if he would have created one and everyone can just create their own?

Was there ever a devx posted for DD-Stretch?

Not for the DD-Stretch version posted earlier in this thread.
Not 100% sure, but the devx posted for Trinitydog-Stretch should work, since it's also Stretch based..
https://github.com/DebianDog/trinitydog ... 8.squashfs

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, 'the Dogs' don't have devxs.

That's not right, the past years always a devx was posted along with any Debiandog or Xenialdog ISO.

EDIT: @rcrsn51
From your isobooter example in the Trintydog thread I see "DebianDog-Stretch-openbox_xfce-jwm-2016-11-14.iso".
It's from here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 862#931862
And there's also a link for DEVX.
But I wouldn't recommend that ISO, it's preview for testing and at that time not yet from the 'Stable' branch yet.

Latest Stretch ISO i shared here:

Thanks. I was looking for it because I wanted the kernel headers, like in the TD-Stretch devx.

As for the kernel headers, have a look here: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/kernel/ and choose whatever is needed for the job, like this package, for example: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/ker ... .9.0-3-686

What's wrong with using a ready-made devx SFS that I can load when needed?

Jeeezus, if someone could do this to where it would actually work---have an 'Devx.sfs' that could actually be loaded, recognized & work in a DebianDog-version, then I'd be over the moon. As it is, anytime I want to compile, I just leave the DebianDogs, go to another machine with my full Deb 8 & 9 installs, compile there, and then come back & see if they work in the Dogs. But having a DEVX-SFS for DDogs. that I could load -on-the-fly, while still inside a DebianDog...pfffffttttt......that just would be the all to end all

This mechanism already exists and works for me in TD-Stretch.
