no rush for answers, my server farm is in deep storage and I have no place to set it up for a few weeks to months Crying or Very sad

need to move but no place ready, RV at ranch too small. Personal issues <lost tire = accident while driving not resolved fully> and many hospital trips and surgeries to worry over this month. Mad

First post seems a bit too simplified:

sh-4.3# git clone https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE.git -b testing
Cloning into 'woof-CE'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE.git/': Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

No, it's not! Something is wrong with your system's /etc/ssl.

I'm running Barry's QU 6.2.1 Any suggestions? I just logged in and downloaded the .zip file using the browser, instead. It didn't take long. I'm up to the ./0setup stage and it seems to be working fine, this way.

Do you need to login to Github via terminal before the git instruction?

And you're right, the etc/ssl is empty in my QU.

@Iguleder:

Thanks for the invitation, and your enthusiasm is communicative!

However, looking at your first line of code:
Any reason why you are directing users to use the "testing" branch
instead of the "master" branch?

I have no experience of woof-CE, but in Debian, the "testing" branch is
recommended for very advanced users only, because users with average
knowledge of Linux may be stumped by the bugs that remain in the
"testing" branch.

Wouldn't the "master" branch of woof-CE produce a more stable Puppy?
Referring to my previous post, wouldn't the "master" branch require
less power of abstraction on the part of users, I mean: be easier to
understand and conceptualize?

I'm not "questioning" anything here, I'm just putting a toe in the river
before my first swimming lesson, so to speak.

BFN.

Hi Musher0:

My guess is because Puppy needs testers!!!

Best,

Hi, slavvo67.

Me thinks (with all due respect) that Iguleder is shooting himself in the foot:
if all Puppyists start "woof-ing" their Puppies, we won't need him anymore
and he'll be out of a "job"! Twisted Evil

@Iguleder
I know: bad joke! But you realize that all Puppyists do not have your talent
and your level of expertise, don't you?

BFN.

Wouldn't fatdog64 work? Or is there any current slaco64s?

LFS and that is the only build system I have been successful with, did get really far with puppy-T2 for PPC decade or so ago, got blocked at xwindows part and a few less important places. WolfQ has a long thread of tears, and trials, and hoping some besides BK can figure it out before I try it.
So what is be latest STABLE anything that would serve as a build system base, since my current stable FD64 is not usable.
I am willing to give it a honest multiweek try. Smile

hope someone in the know can Xplain the points that look obvious to everyone but a newB Idea

Fine, jessie can be created from "devuan" repos, whatever that is...

But now, what does this mean?
