A new year and what has happened since I joined this forum

This is the third post I made to the forum in 2007 52.9MB
and it shows what I was thinking then about making a light version
removing the browsers and I was tired of the
constant changes leaving everyone in the dark
this is what I was thinking about five years ago !
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22099


basically I havent changed my thoughts
except I want to rebuild everything following established
linux community tools such as pkgtools
and use a package format that hasn't changed in years

later I will use linux live scripts so that the live base will be 100%
distro compatible with the big brother linux
this would allow any distro to be used (slackware ,debian,arch ....)

then use home made packages for the light experience
like the community custom built for puppy

why not just use a script to make a live cd
then any distro could be used

Txz packages

#469 Post by alphadog »

Hi Joe (big-bass),
Just a quickie.I normally run Racy 5.2.2 but was trolling through this thread earlier when I came across this package "beautify-1.0-i486-5_SLXR.txr so I downloaded it and it installed perfectly !!
However this does throw up (to me anyway) another question ; will any txz package install in Racy?
Regards,
Pete

Hope this means Dotpets - enjoy the freedom of using both PPM and Pkgtools :)

Sounds truly Great....

Hi Joe
Happy New Year to you, too
I still have that fat free full installed on an IBM TP560....it worked well, and I only added a few apps, as it was very ram deficient nice job, btw

I'm so glad you went the route you did as there are many development paths, but people seem to be coming back to the idea of using more standard linux filesystem layouts, and trimming fat - much good development for us plebs to enjoy :lol:

Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next creation/development :D
Might your current thinking extend to cross-pollination to ARM/PPC builds?, I would really hope so :wink:

I dont know what has changed in Racy to express any certainty
at best you have good luck that my package worked correctly on Racy
saying that only because there have been many changes I havent monitored
after puppy 4.12

I do know however any kernel dependent packages such as drivers wont work
any special packages I wrote or compiled
should be tested puppy pfix=ram if that option still exists I dont know

this way you could test something without destroying your save file
so to sum it up you would have to test
if you do have a question about a certain package I compiled or wrote
I would be able to provide more info

Hey I have been testing Porteus !
http://porteus.org/

my package tools works perfectly on Porteus
so I dont need to use modules I can install TXZ packages directly
with a GUI ... isnt that cool !

because I built my tools around slackware
I can use them elsewhere 8) on Porteus
and all of my packages that I have tested so far
work on Porteus
so this means I can add what I like
* man am I glad I stuck with a linux package standard

Porteus did an excellent job
I signed up to their forum also
will keep you posted on the progress

I offered them my tools for those who prefer just simple
packages and any help they could use
http://www.puppy2.org/slaxer/snapshot1.png

also they use linux live scripts so it is doing what I wanted to do
to build the base with

I guess the winds of change have blown me into some
great new ideas

Porteus the best live cd I have tested in years
giving credit where credit is due

Yes. :)
TXZ_pup is very solid and functional
with loads of software
TXZ_pup uses little more than
zip files or tar files which goes back to when computers
saved on reel to reel on Unix
Tar = tape archival retrieval - is that right?

Not so long ago though it seems like ancient days
Joes distro was known as Slaxer Pup
and I was still doing vids with a cheapo battery powered vid camera
http://youtu.be/E4BqXF_ZXiY

Joes system is very simple
make compatible with simple and available packages
Use a solid base (Slackware)

Sickgut is doing much the same with Debian packages.

Joe is a good fish

Hey Lobster

I went back an did a minor edit to my prior post
I wasn't talking about TXZ_pup
I was talking about Porteus!

Porteus the best live cd I have tested in years

puppy has its good things and people
but puppy has gone down a different road
that I havent walked in more than two years

Porteus is going down the road that "I wanted to take TXZ pup to"
but the puppy community wasn't and isn't and won't be ready for something like that which is ok

honestly "humble pie" I thanked the author of Porteus
and told him that I wished that I could have done what he did !
the way it was built and the end result is what I was imagining
the next txz pup to be but he saved me all the work in doing it :D

I don't have the free time that I used to have

so I can spend more time making apps and enjoy coding

what I was trying to say was all the work I did on TXZ pup
with package management using slackware's package format
most of it will work on Porteus so it will be very easy for me to
add anything I want to it

and most of all what got me interested in to start with
is to learn another way to build
a base with http://slackware-live.tuxfamily.org/-Home-

Slackware Live is a live CD/DVD/USB build and install tool written for Slackware Linux:

contains all the necessary to convert an installed system to a live system and vice-versa;
ability to build a system from packages;
it doesn’t need any kernel recompile, but it support seamlessly AUFS if your kernel support them;
no changes are needed on the system to make live; the live system boots like an installed one
support multiple SquashFS modules;
can run in RAM;
can be booted from network (live over NFS);
support for home directory on USB boot media (directory or file) or over NFS;
support persistent system changes on USB boot media (directory or file) or over NFS;
auto-detects partitions.

Build it and they will come
An three pointed fork - puppy, slackware and Porteus!
what could it hurt?
I think the puppy ,slackware and porteus communities could handle it.
Slaxer_Pup 4.12 and TXZ_pup 4.5 each have 32 thread pages :D :D

Good news, I kinda miss Slaxer, which was a nice piece of polish.

If Porteus gains a Puppy developer, we gain a new friend. Sounds win win to me. :)
In ye olde days I hoped we would use or integrate programs from DSL and Austrumix. John Murga developed his version of Lua in DSL and Puppy chat was started to offer a similar service to DSL
. . . we were the number two small Linux . . . for most of our history . . .

Not too many people use 3.01 but how about back-porting your pkg-tools for 3.01?
Could get my old laptop to be setup like my txz-pup :D

I know your busy working on your next TXZ_pup or Slaxer :D

Si vous cliquez sur un Paquet TXZ, Il vous demande si vous voulez l'installer ( C'est facile !). Un clic droit vous propose "unzipper drag N drop 5 ", qui nomme et décompresse le paquet dans un classeur pour que vous voyiez ce qu'il y a dedans avant de l'installer.

Le classeur Txz-updater contient les mises à jour à faire. Choisissez celles qui vous interessent en cliquant dessus, TXZ Ppup 4.5 ouvre les paquets et distribue le contenu là où ça va bien.

Cliquez sur slaxer_pkg_tools2.4 qui controlera le contenu des paquets que vous voulez installer. On peut faire des installations multiples.

Si vous voulez avoir vos paquets dans un classeur spécial copiez slaxer_pkg_tools2.4 dans ce classeur. Il y mettra tous ces paquets et seulement eux

Vous mettez ce classeur oû vous voulez.

Vous pouvez désinstaller de la même façon.

If that can be useful to somebody !

If you click on a Package TXZ, He asks to you whether you want l' to install (C' is easy!). A right click proposes " to you; unzipper drag NR drop 5 " , which names and decompresses the package in a sorter so that you see this qu' there is inside before l' to install. The Txz-updater sorter contains the updates to make. Choose those which interest you while clicking above, TXZ Ppup 4.5 opens the packages and distributes the contents where that is well. Click on slaxer_pkg_tools2.4 which will control the contents of the packages that you want to install. One can make multiple installations. If you want to have your packages in a special sorter copy slaxer_pkg_tools2.4 in this sorter. It will put at it all these packages and only they You put this sorter or you want. You can désinstaller in the same way.
