Details of my upgrade.

Frugal install i place all the contents of an iso in a folder then run grub4dos.

I retain the savefile from the previous version but everything else from the previous taxpup version is deleted.

Thanks mistfire ! Great. The package manager works well now.
After all, I think, it turned out to be a very simple fix by only changing to #!/bin/ash in the /usr/libexec/tazpkg/install script, is that correct ?
(I thought I tested that, and didn't work then, but need to say that I changed all scripts to /bin/ash at that time).

Now the TazPup alpha 10 is now working nicely. I wonder if tazpup builder cloud script works. If the builder works it can now easily catch up on slitaz rolling releases.


More test to come:

* Perodic Save Session (if it was booted from usb or flash memory)
* Multisession mode
* NVMe boot (Optional, if possible)

If everything works fine. We can declare beta and make formal announcement for this breakthrough

Nice @darry19662018

Right now I trying to develop a tazpup builder which most binary files are rely from slitaz repo. Only puppy part was busybox and scripts in response to rolling release nature of Slitaz.

On beta release, the version number of tazpup will be aligned to the version number of slitaz to avoid confusion.

pFeee, it looks like when you buy products elsewhere and just stick a label on it 'Made in XXX'
Slitaz is not my OS, even launched by a Puppy. If it was, i will run Slitaz.

This is as much about 'computing' as about any one distribution Doudou. It's about Puppy because TazPup is a true Puppy/Slitaz blend (though maybe not much from your customer-user point of view). Slitaz pristine has certain weaknesses, as does Puppy - this hybrid is an interesting result that solves some of these issues.

@hamoudoudou tazpup internals are different from pristine slitaz. Puppy works under the hood while slitaz works on top. The best of both distros fused as one.

What is the command (like dir2pet) to make a tazpkg from a directory?? I've searched but been unable to find.....
ImageLxPup = Puppy + LXDE

I don't now what Slitaz could be useful to Puppy..

#392 Post by hamoudoudou »

When i was young, i bought CDs DVDs with main LINUX OS, big or tiny.. When i launched PUPPY, i said 'That is the one'..
I don't know what Slitaz could be useful to Puppy..
Of course i tried Tazpup, and it improves a lot Slitaz.. Pupsave as the main effect.. But all your efforts will now be to get Tazpup as efficient as a true Puppy. But not better, that is impossible. The weak point of Puppy is PPM and dependancies. Slitaz won't help in this matter.
PS / Slitaz is Light because barebone. Just make featured as a Puppy, and Slitaz is bigger than Puppy.. That was said somewhere..
Now, i know that devs don't know what to develop, and they are frightened by new technologies. But here is the way.

The method I have been using is to CD into folder then

Code: Select all

tazpkg pack  <folder name>
For instance if package is named compression.sh-1.8.tazpkg ,
I name the folder compression.sh-1.8

CD out of folder

Code: Select all

cd ..
and the package can be seen if pcmanfm is refreshed.

...But the receipt file might be important because of name of package????

Open up my compression package and see how I wrote the receipt file.

pack

Create a package from a directory prepared in advance or from an unpacked package. It can also manually create a .tazpkg package (see the [url=file:///storage/emulated/0/cookutils/cookutils.en.html]Cookutils[/url] documentation for the automatic creation of packages).

Code: Select all

# tazpkg pack package-version

You have to create this "receipt file" (equivalent of petspec?) by hand???

dir2pet creates petspec for you....

is there a utility to create the "receipt file"??

You can use dir2pet and convert instead if you like:

convert

Convierte los paquetes en paquetes SliTaz (.tazpkg) (convert o -c).

Supported packages formats:

paquetes Debian (*.deb, *.udeb)
paquetes RPM (*.rpm)
paquetes Slax (*.sb)
paquetes Puppy (*.sfs, *.pet)
paquetes Slackware (*.tgz)
paquetes NuTyX (*.cards.tar.xz)
paquetes Arch Linux / Alpine Linux (*.apk, *.pkg.tar.gz, *.pkg.tar.xz)
paquetes OpenWrt (*.ipk, *.opk)
paquetes 0Linux (*.spack)
paquetes paldo (*.tar.bz2)
paquetes Void (*.xbps)
paquetes Tinycore (*.tce, *.tcel, *.tcem, *.tcz)

Code: Select all

# tazpkg convert alien-paquete

Perhaps this info may be in the thread already but I could not find it -

How to turn off tap to click:

- Open a Sakura terminal (applications, utility, Sakura)
- Type the following command:
synclient
- The contents of the synclient config file will be displayed.
- Type the following command:
synclient TapButton1=0

For further info re how to make this change automatically during boot up see this thread:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/synaptics ... ouse-click

Personally I would prefer to learn how to do it the same way I do in puppy: eg: locate the config file, open it in text editor, change the required field and save file, restart flsynclient. But how in slitaz? (flsynclient does not exist)

Odd error here running alpha 10, running Save-Manager / Puppy Event Manager > Save Session, to change the Save Interval to 0,+0, -0 to ask for save at shutdown. When I click 'OK' or 'Enter' key to confirm change, it changes the Save Interval to '5', so it is not possible to set save at shutdown via application.

I believe I have changed it to +0 in some earlier versions, I hadn't attempted to change from default in the last few versions.

At approximately 18 :30 following doing a new frugal install of alpha 10 I updated the system using tazpkg, the timestamp in /var/log/slitaz/tazpkg.log is more than 1 day in advance of the actual time of the update shown below. The system date and time is set correctly. I am using a save folder carried over from last 3 alphas.
