Upup Raring 3.9.9.2 with non-PAE 3.9.9 kernel. 13 July 2013
Thank you for your patience and the extra detail.
I go way back in Linux ... and way back in missing the tiny steps that others take for granted (Debian drove me nuts) ... so I've learned to wait on others, to request paint-by-numbers instructions, or to live without.
After I get some breakfast and coffee I me I'll walk through this and report back.
Thanks again ... I have printed this and will save it in my Linux binder ... just maybe there will be a breakthrough in my aversion to compiling & creating PETs!

Finally got to try this.
/usr/share/applications/ was actually /usr/share/apps - is that OK?
Is the "WARNING" in this next part of things of concern?
I had to manually create the /usr/share/direwolf/ directorysh-4.1# mkdir -p direwolf-0.9/usr/local/bin direwolf-0.9/root
sh-4.1# cd direwolf-0.9/usr/
sh-4.1# mkdir -p share/direwolf local/share/doc share/applications
sh-4.1# cd ../ ../

GUI window
Press ENTER key to bring up a GUI window that will help you to create
a database entry for the package. This will be shown in a text editor
for saving somewhere, also written to file 'pet.specs' inside the pkg.
Press ENTER:
** (gtkdialog4:23553): WARNING **: The recently launched window "DLG_REPONAME" is missing an equivalently named variable directive <variable>DLG_REPONAME</variable> which is a requirement of the launch action.
|ubuntu|raring||ewolf|0.9||Network|8136K||direwolf-0.9.pet||APRS Soundcard TNC
Creating package...
File ./direwolf-0.9.tar.gz created. Now converting to .pet...
direwolf-0.9.pet has been created. Finished.
If you look in direwolf-0.9 you will see the new '.specs' file.
Directory direwolf-0.9 is now configured correctly as a PET package
and in future you do not need to go through this script again.
You could manually edit the files if required, and create another
.pet package just by doing this:
# tar -c -f direwolf-0.9.tar direwolf-0.9/
# gzip direwolf-0.9.tar
# tgz2pet direwolf-0.9.tar.gz
dir2pet exited.

I'm confused ... big surprise, huh?
Can you explain the numbering sequence that makes 3.5.2.4 progress from 3.9.9.2, please?

Ah, OK, sszindian messed with my mind by posting that here rather than in the Wheezy thread.
Thanks!
I don't know how you do it all!
BTW: Someone is trying to teach me how to compile & build a PET ... can you believe that? I have, of course, triggered a couple of oddball outputs ... it's what I do ... and await his clarification as to how to proceed.
Who knows, this could be a breakthrough after so many years.

Absent a reply I tried the PET.
It created no Menu entry and neither "direwolf" or "direwolf-0.9" are recognized in Console.
Apparently either one of the anomalies I mentioned is causing this or else I missed a step or ...
Where do I begin looking for the problem, please?

I have built a voice-controlled puppy based on Upup 3.9.9.2 : Thread here:

So if your mouse breaks or your arms fall off you will still be able to control Upup!

GCC-4.7.3 question
Hi pemasu,
upup Raring has GCC-4.7.3 - the same version as in Ubuntu. Barry's Raring GCC version is 4.6.4. I want to upgrade that to 4.7.3. Downloaded the deb package from this link:http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/gcc-4.7, unpacked it and the structure is absolutely different from what I see in the devx. First of all, these are missing '/usr/bin/c89-gcc' '/usr/bin/c99-gcc'.
usr/lib/gcc is an entirely different animal in devx. Can I just copy over GCC files from your Raring to Barry's? If yes, can you help me pinpoint them?
Thank you in advance.

radio tnc ax25 kissattach usb
I am trying to connect to a radio TNC-type device via USB.
ax25 was apparently not installed
I installed ax25-tools, ax25-tools, ax25-xtools via Puppy Package Manager.
From Console "dmesg | grep ttyACM0" produces:
"[ 18.647282] cdc_acm 2-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device"
I believe that I need to run kissattach with ttyACM0 but am not sure from the dmesg output how to correctly do that.
"ls /dev/ttyA*" produces:
"/dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyACM1"
The ACM0 is yellow, the ACM1 is blue.
No idea why the different colors.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks!

So...I can tell that Upup Raring has those needed kernel modules included.
Otherwise....ham radio stuff...well...as I posted earlier. It is stuff for ham radio hobbyists and enthusiasts. I think you should ask those questions in some ham radio forum or search the net with google search.

FINALLY figured out a fix for one of the things that really bugs me about Puppy. The delete-a-file (etc) key is not DEL. It's CTRL+X. ARGH >.< trips me up almost every time.
For those who want a more ...conventional... way of deleting things in ROX, here's how to achieve it in Upup Raring.
NOTE: I got a lot of this from here --> http://antix.freeforums.org/post30951.html
1. Open /root/.gtkrc.mine in Geany
2. Create a new blank line as the second line in the file
3. Type the following on the new line 2:
4. Save & exit
5. Restart X
6. Highlight a file that you want to remove
7. Right-click and HOVER on the "Delete" line of the right-click menu
8. Press the DEL key, twice -- you should see the keypress option on the right side of the menu disappear, and then come back as "Delete"
9. There is no Step 9 that's it, you're done.
Probably good to comment out that line in .gtkrc.mine afterwards, so you don't accidentally change everything. To do that, add a pound/hashtag symbol to the start of the line, like this --
The procedure should be fairly similar across all Puppies and Puplets, FWIW. (not to mention completely identical for Vincent Van Pup )
Hope I've helped someone good luck folks.

Bluetooth?
I have acquired a Bluetooth USB adapter.
It's plugged into a Netbook running Raring.
Puppy Package Manager offers lots of alternatives when "Bluetooth" is entered.
Any recommendations as to which I should use?
The only planned purpose is to link with a Bluetooth-only accessible device in order to update the firmware.
