Blazing Fast Unleashed

#1 Post by papaschtroumpf »

*** This patch is designed for puppy unleashed 1.0.3! ***

This patch modifies the /packages directory to allow the ISO to
be built much much faster than with the default puppy-unleashed

simply extract the .tar.gz in your puppy-unleashed directory AFTER
you have ran the ./expandtarballs.sh script

The script overwrites the pinstall.sh for the following packages:
0rootfs_skeleton
fvwm95
jwm

It doesn't change the functionality of those scripts but simply
rewrites them to be faster (in fact I only rewrote as little as I
could to make sure I didn't break anything else)

If you have created your own windows manager Unleashed and use a
pinstall.sh modelled after fvwm95 or jwm, you might want to compare
it with these scripts and do the same thing in yours (or ask me and
I'll help or do it for you)

I'm hoping these scripts will become the normal pinstall.sh scripts in 1.0.4 and
later so that the patch will not be needed anymore.

I included on more directory level in the tarball than I meant to (I keep doing it with tar) so it creates a fastbuild_patch-1.1 directory in the puppy-unleashed directory and you need to manually copy the package subdirectory.
Obiously not what I meant to do, so here's one that actually works per the instructions above.

Sorry for confusing anyone that already downloaded the patch above.
