Appril, a pup for Android developers
See my announcement and download link:
http://bkhome.org/news/?viewDetailed=00236
And the installation guide at ibiblio.org:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... README.htm
Beware, this is a big puplet! 0.98GB!
Anyone interested, you are welcome to test and provide feedback.
Oh yes, it has Samba 4.2.3, the full package, but I haven't put in anything to use it. I know that there has been work done by 01micko and others, for the pups, maybe someone could look into this and suggest what I could add to the next release.

Appril, a pup for Android developers
Installed to a 32gb SDHC card.
I ran the installer in Quirky Unicorn 6.2.1, the installer took quite a
while, more than 30 minutes I think but I could see that there was disk
activity because I have gkrellm installed so I waited patiently.
There were a couple of errors show up in the terminal so I captured the
window.
I'm not a developer but will explore this further, maybe I can create
an app for my nexus 7 tablet at some point.
Thanks
EDIT: I did a second install to a desktop pc with Nvidia graphics.
I blacklisted the nouveau module and rebooted.
I also needed to install kernel_src-3.17.8-patched.pet before the
proprietary driver would compile.

Hi Barry,
You should probably add to the release notes the versions of Android that this can be used to develop for (I think you said recently on your blog that the minimum version was 4, or perhaps even 5, which means all the millions of Android 2.3 devices are shut out - if my rough estimate is right we're talking upwards of 200,000,000).

Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

Hi, yeah, that does need clarification.
I have posted about support for different Android versions here:

Appril 7.1 mirrored
here's a mirror of Appril 7.1(includes sha1&md5sums.txt, installquirky.x86, appril-7.1-README.txt, appril-7.1-README.htm, appril-7.1.usfs.xz, and appril-7.1-16gb.img.xz).
Thanks @BarryK for this necessary step for the community as we march into our future. An observation: This is not just for Android developers as its toolsets offer much more than being limited to Android. It appears, for example, it has every thing needed to build a new PUP, build new packages, among the other things that are in this distro.
Thanks,too, to @Puppus Dogfellow. Have never had the speed in downloads as seen today!
Looking forward to diving in.

Making SAMBA use, simple
@01Micko's and @MikeB's frontend, "SAMBA Simple Management" is preferable, as it is a Puppy Linux exclusive approach, clear in its service for users; shown below, respectively with @01Micko's version being colorful.
Once added to Appril, The SAMBA documentation will be added to support SAMBA users of Appril.

SAMBA in Appril
With SAMBA, ANY Android smartPhone/smartTablet/GoogleTV/PC OS can access or store useful files to or from this Appril PC with NO NEED FOR CABLES.
I have used "ES" for years on my Android devices to do so with Windows, Apple or Linuxes with SAMBA. This PUP now brings the same level of usability to the community using the home's wireless network.
Hope this is helpful.

OK this is interesting, any chance this will lead to puppy-droid app, a nice puppylinux desktop app? I've got a very large phablet (phone-tablet) would like to turn into a computer. ( oh its unrooted, but does let me sideload apps outside of an app-store, but only via websites, can't load by USB or such. )
found out a 25disc dvd spindle can hold it upright to view videos sideways, save me a few bucks on a stand, and nothing is blocking speakers or mic.

Problem exposed when trying to build Appril runnable USB
Found a USB to use and hit this error. The last April installer, I thought, was fixed for this problem. Not a bug, but is operational and would confuse some Windows types who booted a Live distro.Attempted in using the "B" installer option.
Hope this is helpful for updating either the Installer or its current documentation to users.
Code: Select all
bash-4.1# ./installquirky.x86
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing installquirky 100%
ERROR: The host Linux OS must have architecture 'x86'. Please download the correct Quirky Installer. Aborting.
Hope this is helpful for updating either the Installer or its current documentation to users.
Moved build process to 32bit. Reach circular errror process
On a laptop with TahrPUP 602, attempt at using Build Option B results in an error.
Screen captures show progression of the circular error occuring with messages in RED and in BOLD
Start terminal in folder:
Installation screen opens on this 32bit PC
First error (in red) is shown.
Changed Firmware to 'BIOS' and this follows:
So either answers are flashed as erroneous.

Only option to test is to erase a disk and dd. Thus, MUST use Installation Option A to a 16GB USB stick. System booted to desktop.
Anyone else notice the "LANGUAGE" improvement made by Barry? Not sure how to use it as I dont see documentation, but, seemingly this is a 1st in Linux Puppy's kennel.
Only PC I had is a 64bit 5GB for testing matching the prescribed requirements. 1.5GB is lost and unusable. But, the remaining looks like an advancement.

Looks great! I think I'll move over from April 7.041. I have some apps and tools built specifically for April which I rely on though (can't forego Awesome WM). Will my .pet's work ootb in Appril? Any changes to devx or system I might stumble over?
Any changes to the kernel? I have an nvidia Maxwell card, so nouveax is no good on anything pre-4.1. I have to build the proprietary drivers for the present kernel, which hunt down and kill xorg's GL. I need hardware acceleration on Intel to work alongside my Maxwell card so I had to revive the xorg libraries and extensions and get nvidia to play nice. It was not fun. If the kernel hasn't changed then I can just use my current files, but if the kernel is going to 4.1 I won't have to.
I've been loving April -- made it my primary system! -- and I'm excited to give Appril a go. Thanks again, Barry!

RAM report after 1 day of use on a 16GB stick and 2 reboots on this 5GB Intel 2007 P4 desktop.Initial "used" was 121344.
2nd - Notice the 2GB RAM lost.
Additionally
All of these program posts by Puppy members in this thread will work in Appril. Appril has ALL requirements for use of any program that is contributed there, builtin (OOTB).
An indirect Appril related Request
Could/would some experienced members suggest a PUPPY-Appril filesystem location for storing JAVA apps?

Before launching, please ensure that you also install gtkdialog4-0.8.3-i486 using PPM or rather Quirky Package Manager.
Having installed both pets reboot before first launching SSM from the network sub-menu.

Tested SAMBA (requires 2 packages from prior post)
Tested Chrome
Original steps I had was removed, as the steps had some issues. A better method for Chrome in Appril, by @ETP, is here. There, he outlines:
- Used PPM to install gtkdialog4
- Downloaded and installed SSM "Frontend"
