Mail from Enrico Tr
I've sent Enrico this screenshot (large! 520 kb), to show him, that geany already is part of the Distro (via PupGet), just not part of the ISO.

As geany 0.5 is not much larger than 0.3, I would suggest to replace 0.3 with 0.5 in PupGet. I use 0.5 often, and had no crashes yet.
Enrico also will inform us, when 0.6 is ready

If Geany can be made smaller and more efficient we would have a better case for using it.

I'd be more inclined to ask the same about beaver. I don't recall ever having any problems with it, but it just feels a lot more shakey than Geany."Is it stable enough for general use, yet?"
238kb isn't incredibly huge. 188kb could be removed by eliminating
/usr/share/text/*
/usr/share/spreadsheets/*
/usr/share/vector-images/*
/usr/share/ps-pdf/*
/usr/share/audio/ivy.mp3
Another 128kb can be saved if you get rid of the three extra wallpapers. That makes 316kb.
Then, if you got rid of leafpad (why keep it now that something better than Beaver AND Leafpad is in?), that's another 78kb, bringing the grand total up to 394kb (264kb if you leave the wallpapers).

Hi,
i'm the Geany developer and I'm happy about your interest in my little app.
Geany's size can be reduced by removing global.tags from the source tarball. This is an 1MB file with functions descriptions for C, GTK, GLib and some other librariers. These descriptions are used for autocompletion and calltips.
It's your decision to remove it or not.
And perhaps you would also remove the HTML documentation with the images, and only provide the text documentation. But then there should be a note to the HTML documentation on the Geany website.
regards,
Enrico

Hallo Enrico,
Willkommen zu Puppy Linux!
As you can see by the discussion in this thread and others, Puppy is efficient and lean. Smaller is better. I would be interested in Mark's review of your program after you have made it as small as you think is possible without breaking it.
Yes, a link to the Geany website for the html documentation placed in the text documentation would be good.

I had a look at the VMWare image of PuppyLinux 1.0.7 and it's nice. I would not change, but it is really nice.babbs wrote: Willkommen zu Puppy Linux!
But I think, you misunderstand me a bit. I won't remove the global.tags file nor the HTML documentation. This should only be done for Puppy. The "usual" Geany distribution will contain these files.
Since yesterday, Geany checks whether the documentation is installed locally, otherwise it will open the online documentation by the Help->Help menu item. So removing the HTML documentation is no problem.babbs wrote:Yes, a link to the Geany website for the html documentation placed in the text documentation would be good.
And I will put the link to the online documentation in the documentation itself, so if someone reads the text representation, he should recognize that there is a more comfortable way, too .

I hope Barry doesn't forget to bring up the bug with national characters in Beaver - Geany handles them without any problems.Lobster wrote:A programmers editor is important - I believe Barry has been in contact with the Beaver programmers.
This is an important issue to remember when deciding which editor we choose for puppy
No, the problem is the size of the binary itself.
It is 920 kb (or 350 compressed with upx).
In comparison, the beaver -texteditor is 290 kb uncompressed.
Puppy is somewhat "fanatic" concerning the size of programs delivered in the iso.
Just like this you can put so many programs in only 60 MB.
For this reason I think geany will stay an additional program in the inbuilt packagemanager PupGet.
I wrote some tools myself that would be nice in puppy, but they use the wxbasic-interpreter, which is 6 MB uncompressed (2 MB compressed).
This is too big, no chance to go to the iso
