Hi Barry,

I want to try to help support the 32bit Aprils but I'm stuck at the starting gate. Specifically, the 0pre and 0pre-add in WoofQ confuse me.

Enter the full path of the T2 build system?

I have a "Quirky Out" to build but when trying to point to that directory, the system simply tells me Error T2 Path is Wrong.

I'm basically trying to download the T2 repository, update and either provide new packages or create an April derivative, especially with GTK3 so new Firefox can work properly.

Thanks for any guidance you can point me to on this.

You have to do a complete build first with T2, so it has created all the .tar.bz2 binary files, that can then be imported into woofQ.

I don't know the current status of T2, how well it is working, if at all. Also, it will need considerable hacking to build all the packages required for a Woof build.

My older T2 is customised and will/should build all the required packages, but of course the packages are older versions.

Here is some documentation how to download and use my older customised T2:
http://barryk.org/news/?viewDetailed=00157

Sources used in my customised T2:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... /t2/april/

To update to the latest T2 would be a major undertaking. Forum member 'scsijon' has been using the latest T2, maybe he could advise.

Alternatively, all of the binary tarballs created by T2 are online.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... ckages/t2/

These can be downloaded, along with 'Packages-t2-april-official'.

Then do NOT run '0pre'. That is only for importing those packages from a T2 build. As long as you have downloaded all of those binary tarballs to the correct place where woofQ build can find them, and Packages-t2-april-official is present, you can progress to run '0setup'.

Thanks Barryk. I guess it will take quite a few weekends. We'll see how it goes..

Best,

Slenkar:

Try Iron 37 for your web browser in April. It's blazing fast for me and works very well in my Quirky 7.2.1 32bit. It should be in one of the puppy repositories or I can try to find the pet and upload if you need.

Also, while it's an older version, I did a check on howsmyssl and all seemed ok.

Palemoon 25.2 is also working for me in April.

Just a little note in response to barry's note.

I'm building a new set of T2 packages to T2's revision 45017 at present. It won't have everything in, but should be suitable to attempt to build this Quirky (I hope) as well as an updated racy55 (both 32bit and 64bit versions), but with later packages. But it's up to you to build and fix this one with barry's woofq, i'm only promising the racy55 equivalents as it's (with a few updates) is what i use on a daily basis and what i will call PuppyT290.

I also intend to "puppyfy' them to .pet packages as I want to go back a little bit and attempt to go back to something simple like puppy 3.01 or even earlier but with current packages before I start to build a waylandx puppy in the new year. Having played with rbos's wayland for a while I do think it will be the way those that build and use graphically drawn packages will go, and it's not exactly slow in the rest either.

You will need to keep an eye on my T290 thread to see what i'm up too. Don't rush to it as I haven't touched it in a while and won't until I have something to report. New url is: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=108731

I will upload both sets to my .net website when ready.

@slavvo67, can we have a url for the howsmyssl please, I don't know of it?

Looks good. I'm not positive that's it's the be all that ends all but I do know that some of the older puppies fall into the red in some areas.

It does come with the latest SSL. My next update in a couple of days will have one of the latest Firefox esr45.4, Well I'm moving to not having the browser included but will come with a script that you click once and it will download and install firefox 45.04esr.

That's probably a good idea. It seems like Firefox is updating every week or so, these days.
