LxPup is based on slackopup which is built from Slackware 14.1 componentsahoppin wrote:Hello Peebee,
Can you please explain the difference between these two versions?
LxPup-15.11.4-s-pae (2016-03-04)
LxPupTahr-15.12.1-pae (2015-12-22)
It seems strange that although 15.11.4-s has the lower version number, it seems to have the later file date.
Sourceforge says that LxPupTahr-15.12.1-pae is the most recent version. Is that true, even though its file date is earlier?
Also, what DEVX sfs should we use with LxPup?
Thanks!
LxPupTahr is based on tahrpup which is built from Ubuntu Trusty Tahr components
So the main difference is the different repositories where additional applications can be obtained.
There are also differences in the applications built-in - notably the web browser which is Firefox ESR for LxPup and Palemoon for LxPupTahr
LxPup has had 3 updates since its first appearance in November - hence is now at 15.11.4
LxPupTahr has not been updated since December - hence is still at 15.12.1 (however it does have tahrpup's excellent incremental update mechanism)
The devx's for both are in the post's linked to the 1st post of this thread.
You can only choose 1 "latest" download on Sourceforge per project....
Hope that makes things clearer
Cheers

p.s. if you're looking for "cutting edge" then LxPupSc (Slackware Current based) and LxPupXenial (Ubuntu Xenial Xerus based) are more experimental.
