Thanks for the info and suggestions, I will get back to ya later...
***EDIT: OK, I am back.

I tried numptyphysics and it generated two menu items in the Fun section. |
Yep, I posted about duplicate menu items above, I will have a hack a jwm_menu_create, see what I can do...
Quote: | I thought also that it had a neat soundtrack and effects I couldn't get here - perhaps that was Crayon Physics I remember. |
Yeah, thats crayon physics, which is really really good!
Quote: | GnuChess doesn't have a menu item |
It's a CLI chess engine that needs a frontend.. the description states this in the PPM (which you can't see yet!)
However I may remove the chess engines from PPM and just offer a complete "xboard+fairymax" bundle, which includes an engine... Maybe also a cboard+gnuchess bundle.. I think that's best..
Quote: | wbar and wbarCC won't load properly as pets unless via PupControl. When I tried to run wbar control console, couldn't see it start and when I rebooted X I lost my xorgwizard settings. |
Both of these packages need cleaning up for Akita, as they work out of the box on Puppy Arcade..
Quote: | All the other games I tried seemed to load fine (except FreeCiv). Sorry that I can't be more diagnostic with my feedback at the present time.
Cheers. |
That's great, thanks for testing..
Quote: | PS I actually PM'ed dave earlier last week to ask if he had an "IceBox" pupplet to showcase his wares - it would be amazing if you could resurrect that pet 'project' if you have it handy. |
I will definitely get it in the repo, but have had troubles with auto installing tcl+tk, by listing them as deps - others that I've done work fine I actually included nearly all of them in Puppy Arcade as default - so there is one puplet out there showcasing his apps
Quote: | What about SoftMaker2008 for an office suite? Still a licensing issue with that? |
I uploaded most of it while at my 2nd (less important) job, but could not get enough free time to convert and upload all the openoffice and softoffice stuff... I will do that soon.. I think I have softmaker 2010 lying around, and Barry made a softoffice pet recently.. The only license 'issues' with Softoffice programs are that they require email registration before they will work.
Quote: | And perhaps gnuGo (I think - over in the MacPup threads I remember it being discussed) - the kids seem really interested in that as a boardgame, better than checkers or chess which surprised me (happily). |
Never heard of it, but I'll have a look... Do you have a tar.gz around anywhere?

Thanks for all your detailed replies, sc0ttman -
I had no idea that one of your Arcade Pupplets had dave (pa) mcclamrock's goodies - you seemed to be churning out versions back then and I just didn't get a chance to try any
Actually, trying to steer clear of exposing the kids to first-person shooters - the collection of games jemimah provided in Fluppy is about our speed (and the HSB/HanSamBen pupplets, of course. Can't forget ol' GamesPup either). Might have been a bit of passive avoidance, if any of your Arcades had something Quake-like the kids would dig out Apologies.
Versions floating around on the forum are dio444's:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=15130#15130
GuestToo's pup (via Muggin's 'Quarry' pet):
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=161234#161234
But runtt21 is DEFINITELY the "go-to" guy on the forums (pun intended), and at last count recommends this version:
http://www.gokgs.com/download.jsp
Thanks again for all the earlier clarifications,
Cheers!

software for Akita |
|
Here are three pets I made for Akita
Quick Launch is improved by allowing apps to launch as
well.... and I fixed the list of folders,
and translations are improved.
Elinks_text-1.0 is the result of an idea I had.
If a text file was the output of elinks then it would
easier to manipulate the text. So I made this rightclick option.
It turns out to be very useful for me. See yourself
Feel free to rewrite the software and use it in Akita.
Make sure that Quick Launch launches with Ctrl-shift -L.

Can anyone compile this? (I have failed, not sure why)
It's a lightweight boulderdash clone, a faithful recreation of original (unlike others)

rewrote quick lauch |

I tried the new quick launch on a 800x600 screen
and it didn't work properly, because of the changes I made.
So I reduced the height of list and some other small changes.

I made Quick launch a different way
this time.
I made the app list from the .desktop files.
This helps to make it a universal program,
but I still had to make a special one for Akito linux.
Note I put an icon in the folder 'Screenshots'
so that 'zero files' message won't pop up
when launching screenshot browser.

Have you ever looked at the cire program?
I don't use it , but it might be better than Osmo
for keeping notes.

I recompiled the latest ROX-Filer that now uses gtkbuilder. If you use glipper-lite and gtkdialog compiled without glade, you can eliminate libglade now.

I've been using your ROX binary pretty much since you posted it, and have had no problems, the drag and drop columns work fine.. Nice
But I have not re-compiled gtkdialog, and know diddly about glipper (no glip* cmds installed!), but maybe you could start a thread about removing glade as a dep in Puppy, what needs doing and so on, so we can make it an optional package for future puppies... show people the way..
___________________
Don, I'll have a look at QuickLaunch 1.6... Which fbreader package do you use? I found an old one, which I lost by mistake, but I will add fbreader into the Akita repo, preferably the smallest, latest, greatest package that works in Akita...
Also, I think I will leave Osmo as is, I like it..
____________________
About the repo, I also added: softmakeroffice-2008-bk, openoffice-2.2.0 and openoffice-3.2..
Plus some small SDL games, like digger, pipepanic.. and some other stuff..
I'll update the htaccess file on the server, so the .pets are 'fancy indexed', so they can be sorted by date, etc...
I will add LibreOffice, the LibreOffice installer as well... Can't test the LibreOffice SHS .pet (150mb) - I don't have enough RAM to uncompress it (apparently).. I'm also very low on disk space, so save files are out of the question...
It may just be a problem with the .pet that I had, so if anyone can show me another LiberOffice package, that I can test, then I'll test that (sfs or pet)..
I'll also try 01mickos installer GUI, but need disk space, damn it.

here is gtkdialog4 (you can try making a symlink to gtkdialog3, but some apps may not work - see barrys blog), the only others are older versions if gnumeric and gtrayicon which wasnt in older puppies at all and ghasher (i think there is a gtkdialog alternative).
btw here was the hacky one liner I used:
Code: | for x in /*in/* /usr/*in/* /usr/local/*in/* ; do [ "`ldd $x |grep glade`" ] && echo $x; done |
feel free to modify it to try and find others that you suspect may be unnecessary

Nice, thanks for that binary...
But.. Damn! All of the following need Glade, in Akita: gtrayicon, galculator, ghunter, gins, glurp, ghasher, gtkdialog3, gtkdialog4, ssindex, ssconvert.. also maybe firewall-genie??
If I am to remove Glade, I will need a gtkdialog3 that doesn't use it... I cannot really be bothered to go through bkhome.org myself and find all fixed pets... I might tho...
But even then, Barry only updated SOME pets - then he changed to using 'gtkdialog4' where needed, instead.. So removing gtkdialog3 might not work well anyway... I could PM 01micko I guess - cos Slacko has updates many scripts, cos its *only* got gtkdialog4.. but micks really busy at the moment..
I might see what I can do, need to find alternatives for glurp, can remove the rest (ghunter, ghasher, etc).. Will use 'phash' by Barry instead... Not sure what 'gins' is...
Also used your one-liner to find the following are missing libs: ssindex, ssconvert, fluidsynth, foomatic-rip, bareview, gtmoz...
Most will get removed..

Hmmm, it seems a few things like the Font DPI setter (setxftdpi) also use gins, which needs glade...
I wonder what else needs 'gins'....
And how much space does Glade take up? the libs seem small enough...
Why remove Glade? Is it that slow or something?
** EDIT:
I also noticed that rodin.s kindly updated input wizard and other things, but it means I have to re-add the changes I did, in order to make input-wizard (and others) use 'gtkdialog', not 'gtkdialog2'...
I am also trying out having ONLY gtkdialog4 ...
The one attached by techno a few posts earlier..
I have a /usr/sbin/gtkdialog symlink pointing to /usr/sbin/gtkdialog4, and have used the script below to update everything I can find to use 'gtkdialog', not 'gtkdialog2' or 'gtkdialog3'
Save the code below as script_grepper, and chmod +x
Code: | #!/bin/ash
[ ! "$1" ] && echo "Usage: `basename $0` SEARCH [REPLACE]" && exit 1
mv $HOME/script_grepper.log $HOME/script_grepper.log.bak
clear; echo Please wait...
for FILE in /*in/* /usr/*in/* /usr/local/*in/* /usr/local/*/* ; do
case `file ${FILE}` in
*Bourne*)
if [ "`cat ${FILE} | grep ${1}`" != "" ];then # $1 was found
if [ "$2" != "" ];then # if $2 was given
FILE2=`cat ${FILE} | sed "s/${1}/${2}/g"` # replace $1 with $2 in $FILE2
echo "${FILE2}" > ${FILE} # replace $FILE with the updated $FILE2
echo ${FILE} was updated >> $HOME/script_grepper.log
echo ${FILE} was updated
else
echo ${FILE} >> $HOME/script_grepper.log
echo ${FILE} # just show the match, don't replace anything
fi
fi
;;
*);;
esac
done
exit 0 |
Usage: script_grepper SEARCH [REPLACE]
