Anyone know of an archive that still has a copy of Dpup477?
The file's full name is, I believe, dpup-477beta1-2.6.27.4.iso

Thanks.

Hey people, bringing this thread back from the dead
I'm still using dpup484 b4 on my PC and was thinking of updating some backend stuff ( new glibc/gtk/gnutls ) so it's more compatible with newer apps and packages.
I compiled glibc 2.13 and gtk 2.24.4 plus new gnutls if anyone's interested I might upload an iso after some testing if I manage to get this right.

EDIT: I want to keep same Xorg version that was in dpup, and make build with same kernel just with these libs updated since I'm not kernel guru, but pemasu is willing to try to update kernel once I upload a working iso and devx.

Well, kernel works just fine for me, I just though maybe other users would like it for newer modules and stuff, I am surely doing a build with same kernel and keeping Xorg.
I compiled glibc, glib, pixman, cairo, pango in that order, since it needs cairo compiled first to build libpangocairo. gdk_pixbuf was also needed to build gtk, it compiled but I had problems with it later so when I build gtk I update all these packages but keep old gdk_pixbuf which doesn't seem to make problems so far.

EDIT: BTW ttuuxxx I still haven't striped/splited these packages, since these are some crucial system libs can I still split dev libs and put them in devx sfs and what about locales?
Oh yeah it wanted new atk package too.

Well, I'll be doing some kind of manual update, compile these libs on actual dpup and then replace them in unsquashed old sfs, I will probably ditch blinky which is now ancient and use Barry's network tray icon which is standard for any wm systray, and maybe add firewallstate icon?
I will probably add precompiled seamonkey, not sure if firefox 4 is really enough stable yet. Plus seamonkey has customizable movable toolbars now.

Hi most of the time the locales are located in /usr/lib/locale either in the iso, which will take extra ram at boot time or like in 2.14X its located in zdrv_214X.sfs in the iso.

I did post the sources of the blinky replacement called networktray used in Upup Luci located at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=519304#519304

looking forward to your iso

Thanks ttuuxxx, I got Barry's 2.4.3 sources, these for lucid are somewhat tweaked?

I'm still using 484 b4 on one machine that I frequent. I'm with ttuuxxx on the kernel, mine works great. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[dejan555]

Thanks for the heads up people, I'm doing some test builds here it seems good so far, I'll upload iso in next few days.

[dejan555]

I will upload devx tomorrow.

seems ok. got connected in pupdial. havent had a blackscreen crash of the previous dpup as yet. only using for a short while. pwireless2 has been replaced by frisbee by jemimah in her isos.

[James C]

Downloaded and will give it a spin a bit later.

[dejan555]

Frisbee is suposed to be better with wireless? I could replace it I guess but since I don't use wireless I can't really know how effective it is. Thanks for testing aarf.
