Even though these builds are announced in Derivates section...there seems to be people whom are confused about the naming of these Precise Puppy derivatives ie puplets. Barry Kauler posted about it in his blog.
It might be good idea to change the corresponding name of the puplet. Also Barry Kauler will continue to upload new version with fixes he has found from his announcement thread. I have pointed to oldyeller thread in his thread...so that all these great new compiled apps would be found. I think that scabz has done great work. Clementine is not the easiest to compile due to several dependencies and need for the gstreamer support which is not natively in Puppies.

Of course this naming suggestion is just my humble opinion and not anykind request. I would like to remind that the awakening of these builds was due to silence of development of Precise Puppy. All this work benefits the Precise Puppy...by interest, usage, feedback and bug reports.
Now Barry Kauler has announced that the focus is again with Precise Puppy and so...the naming should not be confusing.

I have spent my spare time with debian wheezy puplet, strictly unofficial woof build. The package structure and libs location change is the same as with Precise Pangolin and so...the work with Precise Puppy benefits almost straight me also. Also the woof fixes for Precise Puppy are almost workable for debian wheezy puplet...sometimes slight modifications are needed (when there is straight pointing to the Precise Puppy)
I had and have quite overwhelming problem with my touchpad movement precision and Precise Puppy. Nothing I have done has cured it. I posted about my problem early in the Precise Puppy thread. It looks like debian wheezy xorg behaves better...just like squeeze has done...that is one of the reasons I concentrate now to the debian wheezy puplet.

Precise beta3 vs. Precise 5.3
I'm a bit confused. I maintain a forum page in Spanish where langpack_es is offered along with versions of Puppy that are translatable with the language pack. Which should I post as oficial build, Precise beta3 or Precise 5.3?

Re Precise 5.3
I have no control over what people post in the Forum.
I also noted the word "official" being used somewhere inappropriate in the Forum, don't recall exactly.
There is no official Precise 5.3.

Note to oldyeller:

Is there any way you can change the name of this distribution
from Precise?

Sorry, when I saw the version number and then read BarryK's blog, I automatically got confused, I must say I was very impulsive. And although my comment on the blog post was a simple request for information, now that I read it again it looks like the type of comments I usually begin by writing "Sorry", for the readers can't see any gestures and etc.
I agree about the renaming, it's as simple as changing to, for example, Precise OV, i.e. Oldyeller's Version. AND it's going to be one of the first puplets within the new internationalisation system, this means more users and testers.

Gimp 2.8.2
Image

gimp-2.8.2-percise.sfs Download includes all dependencies.
gimp-2.8.2-percise.pet Download same as above but a pet, warning takes up alot of space in your savefile.

gimp-2.8.2-i486.pet Download includes no dependencies, needs babl-0.1.10-i486.pet and gegl-0.2.0-i486.pet to work.

DEV, DOC and NLS pets are in my repo http://www.mediafire.com/?gh5x8eblxp8a0

I will get your pets in the upup repo. I am trying to come up with a sfs downloader so I can upload them.

No hurry on bibletime just when ever you have the time.

its great you got bibletime now i was still trying to compile it but kept running into problems, i never do the undeb thing, i always try to compile from scratch but doesnt always work that way, there is stuff missing in puppy to compile and have to hunt it all down. stuff needed to compile isnt always need to just run the apps.

That is ok maybe when Barryk is done I will redownload woof2 and do afresh build with new wm and panel.

With what he has done maybe you would be able to do it with that one when it is finished.

I do the undeb thing because I don't know about compiling, one day I will have to take the time and try.

scabz,

I will take a look at your qtsfs I might be redoing bibletime without any qt in it.

When I do start to compile I want to find something that is easier for a newbi at compiling :lol: :lol:

Billtoo - TS demuxer is missing!

#152 Post by LateAdopter »

Hello Billtoo

I tried the VLC 2.0.3 + qt 4.8.2 SFS from page 4 of this thread in Precise B4

The MPEG Transport Stream Demuxer is missing.

VLC 2.0.1 on Fatdog64 600 does have it.

It's strange because all of the 1.1.x versions of VLC, that I've tried, in Puppy repos don't have it either.

But as generic Windows builds always have it, I had thought it was a Linux problem.

As a workaround, I forced VLC to use the libavformat demuxer and that did work. But it is not really compatible with VLC so various features don't work with it.

If you are looking at VLC in future, perhaps you could look out for it.

Thanks

I made a new vlc-2.0.3 pet this morning for the new slacko 5.3.5.3 beta,
most configure options are (auto) by default and there must be over a 100 of them.
I took a guess and used --enable-switcher but I don't know whether or not that will fix your problem.

See the slacko 5353 thread if you want to try it in the new beta.

Hello Billtoo

I discovered that libdvbpsi was still missing.

Your post further up page 4 said you had added it, but it obviously did not make it into the SFS.

I installed libdvbpsi from the Ubuntu repo, and now my recordings will play.

Thank you for the SFS.

Hello everyone,

I have just re-uploaded wbar in upup repo with programs that are in puppy.
The wbar folder in /usr/share/pixmaps has the icons from Nimbus-icontheme.


Enjoy
