What if they don't already exist?
But they do in any woof-CE puppy (almost from the start - 2 years ago).

Yes I know. If the icons are deleted from woof-CE then I'll change the build script.

gnome-mplayer.desktop

gnome-mplayer.desktop

unfortunately since Slacko 6.3.0 Gnome-mplayer is located in the wrong category.

Gnome-mplayer is located in CATEGORY "Multimedia" SUB-CATEGORY "audiovideo"
but belongs actually in CATEGORY "Multimedia" SUB-CATEGORY "mediaplayer"

So the category of the menu where gnome-mplayer actually belongs is empty.
This has been already complained in Slacko 6.3.0
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=873753#873753

I changed the category in the *.desktop files from "audiovideo" to "X-Multimedia-mediaplayer"
and the icon path from png to the svg icon.

transmission

transmission.petbuild is using DESKTOP=transmission.desktop file

but should use instead DESKTOP=transmission-gtk.desktop

The currently used desktop file contains
Categories=Network;FileTransfer;P2P;GTK;

This leads to several places in menu

leafpad.desktop file contains:

very strange but this leads to several places in menu

However Leafpad is an editor not a viewer and Category should become corrected by

Categories=X-Document-edit

petbuild for latest freeciv (2.5.9)

#53 Post by sc0ttman »

Hi guys, dunno if I am allowed to do pull requests, so I'll post here for now..

This is a bog standard petbuild script, except the 4th option for build_configure(), which adds CLAGS to enable running FreeCiv as root..

(originally copied it from homebank.petbuild.. not sure if I need the 'DESKTOP=freeciv-gtk2.desktop' bit)

Advice/corrections appreciated.

Torcs 1.3.7

#54 Post by sc0ttman »

puppylinux-woof-CE/petbuilds
slacko_142

I tried to build Torcs 1.3.7 on the same recent Slacko build, 32-bit ..

The Torcs petbuild script lists no dependencies, but I needed to build plib and freealut before Torcs would compile..

Maybe they should be listed as deps in the Torcs petbuild script?

Also, side note, when Torcs did not compile, petbuild still went ahead and built some (empty and broken) PET files.. I don't know much about how it all works, but maybe it's better to NOT package up a broken build?

But I got Freeciv and Torcs compiled easily enough.. Good stuff.

ScOtman,

You lost me! What are you trying to do here? :)

Is there anything wrong with downloading the aqualung source (for example)
from the aqualung site, and building it on your Puppy using the devx?

I gather that pigz don't end up in your ham sandwich?! :lol:

TIA for any leads.

BFN.

Every time I see a python based utility I run a mile. Not sure why that is - I just feel that Python is a security risk and it shrouds everything in mystery. Why can't code be transparent? Why does it need python to do stuff??

Am I being unreasonable?

The whole point of this thread is to support the PetBuild system that
01micko put together. The scripts are to go into the petbuild system, at GitHub


It compiles stuff using 'build scripts' ..

You could manually download the source, and manually compile, etc ..
But these '*.petbuild' are like recipes to compile stuff and they makes
compiling stuff reproducible for others..

EXAMPLE: So what if you compiled Aqualung? How does that help me or others?
Did you make a PET? On which Puppy? Will it work on mine too?
Did you share it? Where? Link still work?

Did you make separate EXE, DEV, DOC and NLS? Did you compress and
strip the binaries and image/dat/etc files with advancecomp and optipng?
(Petbuild doen't either but it could/should do this by default, like buildpet does..

... Maybe I try your PET and it doesnt work on my Puppy, so I compile it,
only to find it won't build, so I ask what options YOU used, then after
some time you realise the --no-slang options was needed, so I try that..
Nice it compiled, but how do I package it? Where is the menu entry?)

Or.... You could just make a petbuild script, which automates all of the above, and I can download it, and then just do:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/petbuild/yourpkg
sh yourpkg.petbuild
And then it will compile for me, with all the same options, hacks, patches that
you put into the petbuild, inc any custom .desktop files, etc ..

(Plus, my Pkg manager integrates with this PetBuild system, and lets me
simply do `pkg --pkg-build PKGNAME` .... so rather than compiling
manually I just make a petbuild and run one command..)

Once I got a working PET, I can share the petbuild script, and others can
simply run 1 command to build the same PET:

Code: Select all

sh mypkg.petbuild

... This way is MUCH better than manually compiling stuff, not telling people
the options you used, sharing the PET in a random place, etc, etc ..

This way (with .petbuilds), instead of sharing a PET that *might* work for some, I am sharing
a build script that should compile a working Aqualung for all Puppies.

Puppy users really should get in the habit of making and sharing petbuild
scripts, instead of manually compiling stuff and sharing PETs that *might
work for some*

NOTE, I should *probably* be creating these as Pull Requests on GitHub,
but need to sort some stuff with my GitHub account first..

(Python based, very powerful)
Every time I see a python based utility I run a mile. Not sure why that is - I just feel that Python is a security risk and it shrouds everything in mystery. Why can't code be transparent? Why does it need python to do stuff??

Am I being unreasonable?
Yes lol, ranger is awesome.. Look in /usr/lib/python*/*something*/ranger/*** to see its code...

Also, the config files in ~/.config/ranger/ are beautifully written...

And Python is a good language to build stuff in, that is why people use it.
But yeah, it's hard to read, and kinda bloated .. But Puppy has Python 2.7
already, ranger just uses that .. the ranger PET is like 120kb, just FYI..

I have ranger setup on my netbook as my main file manager, with file
previews and file contents listings for image, video, archives, PETs, DEBs,
pdf, doc, xls, torrent, etc, etc...

It's like a MMView on steroids, but works without X too :)
