For puppy 3 series we used Gslapt, that worked very wellzenfunk wrote:There I am complaining in several posts that puppy doesn't have a big repository or a "propper" package manager- and then I learn that the 3.xx series can have slapt-get and even gslapt all along.
I'm thinking a lot lately about changing my base to fat_free 3.01. Since slapt-get schould work better with the 3.xx series than the 4.xx series- is this an issue or can I run slapt-get on puppy 4.12 without much issue.
Are there any restrictions in using slapt in puppy?
Is the update of puppy system files possible via slapt?
Is the whole slackware 12 repository available?
Sounds all too good to be true- a full blown OS with puppies weight...
Thank you very much in advance for your insights.

it also worked on 4 series but had some issues, like if you installed glibc from it or solibs etc that would cripple puppy 4.0.
But on series 3 you could install k3b, now thats a task and a have done with a few clicks. Most of my Fire Hydrant series is based on 3 series and comes with gslapt already installed, I also had a retro lite version that you can find on this forum.
You can find gslapt pet located
