Puppy Foundation
See attached screenshot ...
Jikes, JamVM, ClassPath and Cairo (required for Swing) compiled fine.
Although it is slow as hell (gives Java a bad name), the results REALLY impressed me... I tested it with a relly complex app (JEdit).
I'll be creating a package for this soon, I have no idea how big it'll be as "classpath" seems to have changed a lot ...
Cheers

Waiting
Will be waiting for that in the Announcements (or dotPUP) sections. Some benchmark of performance may be useful, for example, against these compact processors by Intel.

hmm
I'm wondering exactly what this is? Is it an alternative to java ???
Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!

You of all people should be able to understand this :
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html
The purpose of this within Puppy is to offer a Java JM with a good set of features and a small footprint... That also happens to be "truly" free.
Personally I still think it would be better to re-build the GCC in the usr_devx.sfs to a recent version with GCJ enabled, but I am not the man to do this

Can't wait for your Java package...
Hi John,
hope to see your free Java (TM) package soon, to get my hands dirty
Like to see if some apps are working with that and how big your java
package is..
Thanks, Peter

Fix for Wikka server problems?
Well, back to the Puppy Foundation topic....
A main goal/reason for this foundation was to set up a new server because of problems with Wikka Wakka Wiki on goosee.com. Back in March there was a topic on the original forum about that. Since then other workarounds have been posted to the Wikka Workaround page that might help. Well, worth a try, eh?

After 1.0.5
Guess people are just busy (especially Barry) with version 1.0.5. After the new version is posted, the Wiki change of server may be addressed already...
Re: Fix for Wikka server problems?
Has anything happened with incorporating the fix into our code yet? The wiki is working Ok for me now (Sat, 0740 GMT) but I expect it will break (for me) in another 4+ hours.J_Rey wrote:Well, back to the Puppy Foundation topic....

Re: Fix for Wikka server problems?
I wonder if it has... or is it school holidays in Aust? The wiki has been working pretty happily for me this weekend and that's unusual. Here's hoping it stays working Ok.ozboomer wrote:Has anything happened with incorporating the fix into our code yet?

Guys, I don't know which way the Foundation is leaning, but John's host is interesting me:
http://web.tera-byte.com/index.cfm?fuse ... ces.shared
Can someone give me some advice.
Their "4U" plan at $99 per year looks great, but it has a couple of major
differences from the other plans:
ASP: No
Shell access: Yes
What is the significance of the No on the first one?
Does shell access mean I can telnet to the site?

Barry, you won't need ASP for a wiki and yes, that should mean you can telnet if you want to. I like http://www.site5.com/ for hosting. I resell some domains to there and I've rarely had any interruptions in 12 months. I've found CPanel more user friendly than Ensim.

ASP is Active Server Pages a Microsoft server sided technology that we do not require as we would be using safer open source alternatives.
I must say as an avid forum user that Johns ISP have proved themselves to be fast and reliable. Top company.
If possible I would wait for:
1. Someone to just buy and donate a years space to the foundation
2. The Puppy Promotion week may have a donation drive.
3. Raffy is out begging . . .
What I would like is a server with access for Barry, Raffy, The Secretaries and Public Relations Officer (I elected myself - the vote was carried unanamously) and developers requiring access. It may be that not everyone requires access - for example the trustees.
Once the Server is paid for the wiki moves and then we would use one of the Puppy domain names for the wiki AND take over responsibility for paying this.
Hope that makes some sort of sense

server uptime graphs for goosee.com and murga.org ... note: uptime is not the same thing as server availability
Thanks. That's useful.
Then what's the difference?GuestToo wrote:note: uptime is not the same thing as server availability

netcraft's faqs probably explain it better than i could
uptime is how long the server has been running continuously
server availability is how well people can get your web pages
if the server is offline, your web pages are unavailable, but your web pages may be unavailable even if the server is up and running

No ASP means that it doesn't support Microsoft Active Server pages.BarryK wrote:Guys, I don't know which way the Foundation is leaning, but John's host is interesting me:

Shell access means that you can SSH into the box, as it happens you can actually create up to 99 shell accounts (and e-mail/web/etc) and even install software (I installed netpbm).
They actually gifted me additional space when the forum was getting out of hand a few weeks ago ... Very nice people.
