Fred Finster and Petget

[Lobster]

Fred has kindly offered this file which someone might like to test / host
How best to proceed?

I don't know how to report back to puppylinux so that other people can download and use this file. I see that Pizzasgood might have already updated the 3 exisiting mirrors ( cc.gatech.edu was not working for me. They moved to www.gtlib.gatech.edu)
and added 3 more mirrors. Austria, Australia, and South Africa. Check around lines 1622 to 1847. That is where I edited the file petget.

My wireless internet is also intermittent. It is running quite fast now.

mv /usr/sbin/petget /usr/sbin/petget_old
cp /root/petget.sh /usr/sbin/petget
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/petget

Now try out.
/usr/sbin/petget


Thank you for your help, Lobster and the work you give back to puppy linux
Respectfully,

Hello,
The Petget in my Ripple 4.11 was broken (linkwise), but this fixed it right up...Thanks Fred and Lobster....

March 19, added in Zigberts code to execute fix_menus script.

March 15, fixed localization errors in petget-4.2.rc3.pet
corrected the deprecated link ftp://ftp.oss.cc.gatech.edu to http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu fixed the missing code behind the buttons for the 5 additional mirror websites (AGAIN) Maybe we can start to use SVN and GIT to share development source code around the world.

minor changes to file /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES\petget.mo

Thanks Tutuuxxx!

OLD POST below:
I posted here to the 4.1.2 bug list

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 5&start=25

I wondered why I can download from 2 of the 3 sites reliabily, but that
the cc.gatech.edu website was not working. gatech is now gtlib.gatech.edu

To get a confirmation reply of '200 OK' from a wget --spider -S -o /std/out
command you have to use the "http:" protocol and not the "ftp:" protocol.
Using "ftp:" protocol, the output of the wget command is "done ..."

So be sure for the "$WWWCHECK" to use a URL beginning with http: and not ftp:

Added Austria, Australia, South Africa, Portugal, and Thailind puppylinux mirrors.

Does anybody know of a puppylinux mirror in the continent of India?

Edit lines 1620 - 1705 and modify the "mirror.india" to match the real website. uncomment and move the button creation line with the RETVAL := 18 up several lines to be in the button text creation area.

Maybe someone more familiar with GTK, can make the program look more elegant.

Upgraded the file to a .PET style, make it easier to install using petget scripts.

very, very nice, very helpful, great that the package manager should be improved considering the number of questions in here re installing apps
