I was just wondering that myself.
I think pets should be compiled in puppy percise or created from ubuntu percise debs, just my opinion i dont know what is right.

but there are some apps and libs that just will not compile for me.
QT, umplayer, smplayer and smtube all compiled fine for me.
xine-lib, xine-ui, vcdimager and a few other that are needed for goggles music manager will not compile for the life of me.

stuff i compiled in lucid works in percise like googlesmm and needed dep..
so i dont know where to go from here.

I like that fact that you have done some and shared it with us. I think that I will do what playdayz does and undeb and make into pets ones that will not compile.

I really have no idea on how to compile anything myself, but is a good time to learn

Quick update.......

-Version-
Kernel : Linux 3.2.27_5.2.60 (i686)
Compiled : #1 SMP Thu Aug 16 11:18:05 CDT 2012
C Library : GNU C Library version 2.15 (stable)
Default C Compiler : Unknown
Distribution : Unknown distribution
-Current Session-
Computer Name : puppypc21949
User Name : root (root)
Home Directory : /root
Desktop Environment : Unknown (Window Manager: JWM)

Now for some sanity testing .........

here is SMPlayer and SMTube Compiled in Percise



Needs Qt
smplayer-0.8.0-i486.pet Download
smplayer_DOC-0.8.0-i486.pet Download

smtube-1.1-i486.pet Download
smtube_DOC-1.1-i486.pet Download

here is my Qt stripped and made as small as i can make it, do not use to compile only use to run apps. to compile use my sfs's from page 5
qt-4.8.2-i486-stripped.sfs Download

I have just uploaded and posted about the Final build.

I will continue to update and fix things as needed like geany and help for abiword.

I have put in desksetup-7.0 and getflash-1.1

Now I am getting started to do pets so if anyone wants to help go for it and I will put them in the repo.

I would like to thank:

Gogglesmm is available in ppm, it's an older version but it's working okay.

Billtoo. Quick comment. Not much time in this evening:

I updated my slackware 14 install this morning and it updated the
kernel to 3.2.27-smp, it downloads more than one version of the kernel
and the version used on this pc sees all of the ram.
I see no mention of PAE, it shows this in the grub4dos menu.lst file:

Only possibility as far as I know is that it is pae kernel. What I know it is the only way in kernel how you can make 32 bit kernel to see more than 4 Gb ( shows 3 Gb ) of RAM. I havent seen any other kernel configure options than pae for more than 4 Gb RAM. And surely 3.2.27 kernel does not have any new options.

You had 4 Gb of RAM. It might be that slackware shows the 4 Gb as 4 Gb, kernel has the limit for non pae as 4 Gb. So...you would need more than 4 Gb RAM to see does it see those excessive Gb`s.

I haven't updated this install yet but hardinfo shows:

Processor 4x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory 8188MB (423MB used)
Operating System Slackware 14.0

Definitively pae kernel.

Billtoo how did you make gogglesmm?
Was everything compiled from source or created from precise debs?
was the libs included in the pet or are they separate pets?

I installed it in Puppy Package Manager, it supplied all the dependencies.

I had the same results as BillToo. Hardinfo reports that my systems see all of the RAM as he reports.

And, Billtoo shows a GoogleMM that I would like to test. I have a large collection of songs over the years and wonder how it might handle them. Wonder if he might generate a PET or maybe its in the PPM already and I hadn't noticed.

@Oldyeller, thank you for your contribution(s). Really a GEM.

Yeah...Precise Puppy has pae kernel and it should show all the RAM. I suppose we are speaking of Precise Puppy kernel if it is not mentioned in the post differently.

And yes...PPM has gogglesmm in repo.
I just copied this from Packages-ubuntu-precise-universe:
gogglesmm_0.12.3-1|gogglesmm|0.12.3-1||BuildingBlock|1437K|pool/universe/g/gogglesmm|gogglesmm_0.12.3-1_i386.deb|+libc6,+libcurl3,+libdbus-1-3,+libexpat1,+libfox-1.6-0,+libgcc1,+libgcrypt11,+libgl1-mesa-glx,+libglu1-mesa,+libsqlite3-0,+libstdc++6,+libtag1c2a,+libx11-6,+libxine1|Goggles Music Manager|ubuntu|precise||

Maybe the precise-universe repo needs to be enabled to see it. Use config manager.

I've just downloaded Precise and I'll make a right click package for it
on Saturday.

By the way Slacko saves space by not including gtkhash or
ghasher. The function could be replaced with a right click package
likehttp://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78276

or my

Now I am getting started to do pets so if anyone wants to help go for it and I will put them in the repo

What repo?

PPM in final version appears to be same as previous versions. No packages in puppy-precise.

puppy-precise is Barry Kauler`s repo. It is not possible to use it for uploading pets. Of course you can suggest pets for Barry so that he uploads them to his repo.

But...if you want your own repo....you have to create it and have upload site also. I and oldyeller have upload sites in smokey01.com. Thank you Smokey01 !!!!
So...that repo needs to be named differently. I used pet_packages-upup....and I think oldyeller has done the same. We can use same names...because the url to the repo is different and so the PPM searches the right location.

If I upload stuff to my repo....oldyeller can copy it and vice versa.
If I have time to update my Upup Precise...and there is oldyeller version in the aether....I believe it would not hurt anyone. The more traffic with Precise Puppy....the better. The more feedback and bugs found.

I agree 100% it takes team work for any puppy to get off the ground.

I have now uploaded kernel 3.2.27-precise to the smokey01.com. It uses Barry Kauler`s DOTconfig ie it is pae kernel, I just included those missing dvb tuner drivers.
