While I have nothing to base this on other than my own opinions... I think Arch in general has been avoided by most in the PuppyLinux community. I'm curious as to why. I have no ideas though, only opinions which are probably completely wrong.stifiling wrote:I still feel as though, for some strange reason, ArchPup was avoided like the plague by most the big name senior members, and don't think that just because it wasn't built using woof, was the reason why. I also feel as though quite a few of them were bird's eyeing it like a vulture does a carcass...but for some strange reason, never posting. I can't say for sure because I don't have any super powers to know that for certain but....based on the 'signs' it looks that way.
Barry hasnt released one, since he focuses solely on 32bit builds. He did comment about getting a 64bit machine a while ago, but since 32bit OS's will run on 64bit hardware, there's no real need. Also taking into consideration Barry continues to focus Puppy on older hardware, I think it'll be some time till he feels the need to make woof 64 bit compatible. As for fatdog64 being woof built, Jamesbond and Kirk did the work making woof work for 64bit. And right now they are the only ones who have done so. Lighthouse64 5.x was based on Fatdog5x. I dont know what TazOC used woof to build his upcoming LHP64 6.x or not. And Slackbones shares fatdog's lineage.stifiling wrote:Anyway, I've been looking for the 64 bit Woof. It's appearing to be buried about just as deep as this thread was. Do you know the link where to download it?
To my knowledge there are no other 64bit Puppy releases. The 64bit arch puppy I'm working on has not and probably will remain not woof built. (Ran into a problem updating busybox to the most recent release, and am waiting for the bb devs to get back to me on a question I asked)
