Based on LazY-EsOnU (by RSH for LazY Puppy), POU (Puppy Online Updater) is designed for developers who want provide updates for their puplet. POU is simple to set up and use (for developers and users).

Last version : pou-0.0.6

Notes :
- Dépendancies : yad-0.23 ; gettext-base for Puppy Lucid.
- With default settings, POU provides access to virgin updates, so you can test the application without changing your installation. It is obviously possible to customize POU for your puplet.

I encourage you to test/criticize POU!

Jointly, for developers who want to create packages adapted to their puplet, I recommend the use of POUmp.

More informations is available on forum FR http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=86895

Thank you RSH.
Your opinion is important. You're the first author of this great script!
As you contate, I allowed myself a few liberties with the original script. And it's not finished (see forum ASRI http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 237#710237).
I hope it pleases you.
Sincerely,

Has this been made available to Git for incorporation into future WOOFCE builds.

This seems to offer an excellent vehicle for distro developers to provide fixes and to resolve some issues which arise from time to time.

Excellent in concept and much practicality in use.

Cheers!
P.S. Has anyone seen this discussion?

Hello gcmartin,
Currently, I use release pou-0.0.9 (I would have to update this thread and downloadable package).
Git: I admit I did not yet understand how it works, so I do not propose any script.

2 sources are available for Puppy contributions to GIT.

Sources:
@Mavrothal via PM to him
@Karl Godt's forum tutorials for developers ===> Starting here

You can be a part of PUPPY GIT (which includes WOOFCE) without producing any code, if you choose.

Hope this helps

Don't know if "up" are allowed but I find this interesting for others to see !

It might be nice to have an uninstall option for those of us that are using puppies that are not compatible (i.e. Unicorn). This embedded itself in my puppy and does not seem so easy to uninstall.

It exists.
From POU or PPM.

I'm sorry, let me clarify. The POU program itself should have an option to uninstall itself from the puppy that it was installed to.

I figured it out but when an application basically builds itself into a puppy, it should have a button or option to uninstall from Puppy, as well. I will check but I don't believe an entry was made into the PPM in order to remove it that way.

Kind regards,
