is Gxine still buggy in 4.12 or 4.2, I'm using 4.1 at the present and it crashes really easy compared to 4.0 was there an upgrade or shall I say downgrade?
Here's an example that I posted in the Living water thread
If you leave a space at the end of a url stream by accident, it freezes then you have to kill it, but it stays running so then you have to run Pprocess and manually kill it
try this link and include a space at the end of the url before hitting enter for 4.12 users.

also I had it crash when trying to resize a movie video, and also it wouldn't play some normal formats, Gxine usually has some small issues but these are new ones for me, also maybe it just needs to be recompiled, I can't do it because I'm running live, When I compile live 90% of the apps work, but GXxine is one that I doesn't.
Any takers? I'll test anything released.

I haven't Scene any ETA announced on the Net yet...
And sum o' the New Goodies Sound Yum
Altho I've Always been of the Opinion that Barrys' once stated 6 - 8 Week Release Cycle seemed Rushed / Hectic & that Doubling it would have been Prudent, so anyway We got Spoilt! Also if I might make a Request 2 include an Old Wind0'$ Favorite EMule which is Available as amule-2.1.3.tar.gz or @ least as a pet Package since my Compiling Skills 'R' Wanting

"club the libraries/components/plugins from Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey together" I tried doing this a couple of years ago, but it is really a wasted effort. The fact that you can't do this is the best good reason for simply having seamonkey as the default. The whole suite installs only slightly larger than any one of its' components. In other words, installing firefox, thunderbird and nvu, for example will cost three times as much space as installing seamonkey. While what you suggest is possible to small degree, it would take a very long time and a good deal of mozilla expertise to perfect such an installation.

Part of 4.2 is the online facilities page (sorry forget name) - some more potentials here:

Warren 4.2, When?

[Pizzasgood]

He said he wants to have an alpha out by the 25th. I don't know about the final. I would expect sometime at least halfway through February.

Thanx PizzasGood

I have been 'lurking' the various 4.2 threads since the beginning. This looks a very cool Puppy indeed

I've been working on the Browser issues, and well I've come to the a conclusion that Cairo, Pango, Pixman should all be updated. But don't get your compiler out so quickly. If you update for example Pixman, you will have no desktop icons, Rox won't work, Xarchive, etc,etc won't work and your stuck in the mud without a wench. (luckily I backup my pupsave)
Cairo is outdated we are using 1.5 and FF3 requires 1.6 sure I changed the config in the source and it compiles but with a lot of errors. This could be the factor for the slowness in FF with images+Scripts in series 3 also.
Any Ideas guys?


Puppy should get a bit of tuning also. We have dated devx files that usually need upgrading when compiling. Shouldn't puppy + Devx compile out of the box? I'm not talking Glibc, more like autonfig and why don't we have Git in the compiler or as a package in the repo? 3.8MB http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/programs/Utilities/git-1.6.0.rc3-i386.pet
or should this wait until the alpha1 is released?

hi ttuuxxx,

i think with your devx-cooments you're absolutely right. we need some upgrades, git is a nice idea.

my proposal would be to also include gpaco http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=34428

it's a great helper-tool (for me), as i often have problems with 'new2dir'

cheers

here's another example of the DevX being somewhat outdated, I went to compile libgcrypt and use the ./autogen.sh and this was the output
./autogen.sh: line 21: 6292 Broken pipe "$1" --version
**Error**: `autoconf' not installed or too old.
Version 2.60 or newer is required.
**Error**: `automake' not installed or too old.
Version 1.10 or newer is required.

Well to compile and change to the latest autogen and automake is easy enough. but that should be done, I'll compile them after I'm finished a few things

Many sources are picky about which version of automake and/or autoconf they use. With a little care you can have multiple version installed at the same time.
You might try running 'autoreconf -if' in the sources as that will some times work when auotgen.sh does not.
