*** DevuanDog 'beowulf' build system *** UPDATED 2019-10-12: See changes and fixes Downoad links below replaced with new versions. Update: See here for Devuandog 'ceres' build system: Update 2019-08-07, discontinued ceres build system. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1028507#1028507 Web Page Very similar as the 'mklive-stretch' build system see Here and Forum thread , but this will build from Devuan 'beowulf' branch and has many changes and improvements. Rather than just one script it's now packed as appimage, reason is that this way it works 'out of the box' on most modern puppies. The appimage has included e.g. yad, debootstrap, dpkg, xorriso (for creating ISO), so nothing extra is required to install. Tested on Tahrpup, Xenialpup, Dpup-Stretch, DebianDog, Fatdog (but on the latter I needed to install 'perl' first from gslapt). Note that this doesn't build a Puppy such as when using Woof-CE, but a puppy-like 'Dog' system (see more: Dog Linux website) See more info also here: DevuanDog 'Beowulf' Download mklive-beowulf: For 32-bit: mklive-beowulf32 For 64-bit: mklive-beowulf64 Make executable, e.g:
Running without arguments it will show usage help, to run with GUI, e.g.:
Run the build on a Linux filesystem (ext2/3/4) not on FAT or NTFS , with at least 3GB free space Simple demo .gif image using GUI option (clicking on the below will probably show it in browser): https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/build-beowulf-demo.gif Here's also a single script that should work OOTB on DebianDog, DevuanDog, StretchDog (requirements/dependencies will be downloaded), to use it on Puppy you need to have yad, debootstrap, dpkg, xorriso installed first. https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/mklive-beowulf P.S. I may extend this post later with more info. EDIT: Forgot to mention, synaptic has version 0.84.5 (synaptic=0.84.5) in the configs, the newest is 0.84.6 (at this time) but it has more dependencies (zenity, which takes a lot of space !) Fred

2019-10-12 Changes and fixes:, see: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1039371#1039371 2019-08-17 Changes and fixes:, see: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1034556#1034556 2019-08-08 Changes and fixes:, see: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1033943#1033943 2019-05-28 Changes and fixes: - mklive-beowulf, latest kernel 4.19.0-5 (at this time) now downloaded as an already prepared setup ('kernel .squashfs', vmlinuz1, initrd.img, initrd1.xz) added to the 'live' directory. (total build time is much faster because of this change) To upgrade the kernel (if there's a newer version available) use "upgrade-kernel" (install upgrade-kernel from Synaptic or with apt-get), see here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1015138#1015138 - mklive-ceres, changed 'ceres' to 'unstable' for the debootstrap command in build script and also in /etc/apt/sources.list (the name 'ceres' worked earlier but now 'unstable' seems to work only) Update 2019-08-07, discontinued ceres build system. _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak Last edited by fredx181 on Sat 12 Oct 2019, 14:40; edited 10 times in total |

I am currently using an old distro callled Linuxbbq (Debian Jessie based - no systemd) but I changed repos to Devuan and upgraded system to Devuan and the script worked on that to build ISO. Easy and straight forward to use - using yad gui. _________________ Puppy Linux Wiki: http://wikka.puppylinux.com/HomePage https://freemedia.neocities.org/ |

Eerie... Darry, please explain more? Right now I'm thinking you lost a screw or you're time traveling! 
How can there be a build system for Devuan Beowulf in LinuxBBQ? They were designed years apart. TIA. _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L. Cohen) |

I think it should run on any linux that can make a chroot, now the Fred has included the dependencies in the portable app. |

I've run it and it worked fine for me. I used the bare script on Debian Dog Stretch. There was one little error, something about needing to restart x for the alsa mixer, but I just hit okay and the script continued. Seems ready for prime time. |

I went to Linuxbbq's sourceforge site and downloaded one of the nox iso's and installed it because the install script is commandline. Installed a simple JWM setup then changed my apt sources list to Devuan and upgraded it to a Devuan system from what had been a Debian Jessie system. Ran Fred's script and made an ISO - bliss.

Thanks all for testing !
Looks like there's a misunderstanding. Why you upgraded to Devuan on Linuxbbq ? The build system should work on Jessie too (or doesn't for you ?) And when you say "script" you mean the bare script or the appimage ?
Yes, thanks, I noticed that and fixed it for 32-bit but forgot to do for 64-bit, done now by making some changes in the repos.
Noo... can't be, building on FAT32 will fail (doesn't support symlinks). And NTFS will mess up the permissions, btw. EDIT: Oh, maybe you mean "boot from FAT32", yes that's OK. EDIT: Changed in first post now to: "Run the build on a Linux filesystem ......." to avoid possible misunderstanding.

So you talk about "building" with the build program/script (creating chroot and all that) not "booting", right ? For me building fails badly on fat32 (errors, lacking support for symlinks). Anyone else tried building on fat32 ? Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak |

Mmm... looks like a miracle is happening for you then, for me it fails at very early stage when running ./mklive-beowulf from FAT32 :
And following with a big list of similar errors. EDIT: Btw, why is it that you never use ext filesystem, what is against it ? Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak |
