BK should do away with Wary & Racy
I speculate BK is keeping it, too: the way he mentions Wary concepts in passing tells me he doesn't want to completely abandon it.ntg255 wrote:I'm keeping Wary.

has nothing latest in it, core libraries are kept at same versions forever, from first release till
today. Wary uses glibc 2.11.1 according to distrowatch which is release from 2009, 4 year old
system is like prehistoric in time of frequent changes, it's probably full of security issues, and
bugs that were resolved upstream but never included because Puppy developers decided to
go with what's easier way.
And why Puppy must be based on other distribution? Probably because it's too small
distribution to have its own repository or pet package manager is not advanced enough to
allow easy system maintainance (upgrading).
Barry off course can do what ever he wants, but I think that continuing work on Wary doesn't
make sense at the moment, same as using Ubuntu as base and not pure Debian doesn't
make sense. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Debian+Synaptic would be perfect
combination for next official Puppy.
Its actually Glibc 2.10-1 according to the wary repos.
Yes synaptic is a good idea. Could have a Glibc and other systems files which need updating service pack which would be simpler than a whole new release to keep Wary going for old kit.
