In no order:
-- Yes. anger. I love this distro and people are letting me down by not being thorough.
-- Well, jlst complained in the Pooch thread and elsewhere about not getting his ideas
accepted, that there was a lack of response from the Woof-CE leaders. I didn't get
the impression that he was lying. I want to hear your comment about that -- coming
from him.
-- As to feeding back my edits and findings, they are all in the "Pooch" thread
mentioned above. If that is not giving back to the community, what is? 01micko
tried to explain to me the push and pull at github, and it sounded as complicated as
any bureaucratic process.
On the other hand, mavrothal said it was possible for pet archives to supersede
the defaults in Woof-CE. I understand this as follows: any and all interested people
can take any of my pet archives and introduce them in their Woof-CE process.
If the maintainers or admins of the Woof-CE do not want to go themselves search
for new potentially valuable stuff published through the forum, if they're not on the
look-out for it, if they absolutely want the faithful to bring their offerings to their
temple, they're partially proving my point.
-- As to becoming a maintainer of the Debian builds, given my lack of talent and
interest for any "bureaucratic process", the answer will be "no". There are already
people much more advanced than I am who are producing Debian builds: semme
and josejp2424, among others. Ask them.
For the record, Josejp2424 published a
"pupjibaro Jessie" a few hours ago,
based on the Woof-CE "testing".
-- That the slackware repo doesn't have the latest version of less (rest assured I'll
double-check) is a poor excuse. Is Puppy so dependent on other distros' repos that
its developers cannot be pro-active? By not being pro-active, PuppyLinux will always
stay behind.
-- Finally, I'll dispute your opinion that obviously useful utilities such as less, tree,
any type of locate, and the inclusion of the latest versions of the core GNU utilities
are open to subjective choice.
Why do other distros have them by default and we don't? Give me a good reason
why PuppLinux should be making computer life more difficult and complicated for its
users than the other distros.
I fought to have the real less included in Puppy, and I'll fight for the general concept
as well -- unless you guys manage to demotivate me completely about the Puppy.
Happy Easter nonetheless.
