Is there a utility for building with Unleashed packages?

#1 Post by sunburnt »

I'm interested in making SFS files directly from unleashed packages.
I also want to be able to include alien packages into the SFS files.

If there's a GUI utility for something close to this it'd speed up my efforts.
If there's a CLI utility it'd still help & I'll make a GUI for it to build SFS files.

Or if there's some info about using unleashed (Wiki?) please point me to it.

Any help is appreciated... Terry

Not that I know of. They aren't too hard to deal with though. Basically, a PETget is set up with the hierarchy already (ie it comes as my_package/usr/bin/whatever, my_package/root/.whatever, etc.). There could also be an image in the my_package/ directory, and pinstall.sh and puninstall.sh scripts, along with a specs file. Most packages just have the extra image. I don't know why that image isn't just in the correct place in the hierarchy though. It would be much more clean.

I've gotten the unleashed core file: puppy-unleashed-core-2.14.tar.gz
But I can't find a working site that has the packages for it, including ibibilio.

Does anyone know where to get the 2.14 unleashed packages?

I looked extensively & it appears that ibiblio doesn't host Puppy Linux anymore!

There's NO "/puppy" folder at ibiblio, AT ALL... What's up with that ???

:!: It was there a couple days ago! :shock: It's not on nluug anymore either, but that just mirrors ibiblio, so if ibiblio loses it they would too.

Barry's dev blog doesn't say anything, so maybe it's just a glitch in the system or something.
