Well its a complex problem. One that the community has not resolved. Offical packages are of course hosted on the ibiblio site. Its the numerous unofficial pakages that are the problem.koulaxizis wrote:Why isn't http://sourceforge.net/projects/puppylinux/ used? We could host tones of well-tested packages for every "official" Puppy version...Q5sys wrote:koulaxizis
For a little history on the last time this came up, read this thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82060
There have been at least 3 or 4 more threads like this so far this year, but they usually end up getting deleted after someone throws a hissy fit.
Why don't we have a Puppy github account for all that wandering code?
Why can't we gather AAALL these packages, codes, scripts, translations, ideas into "official" and permanent places for easy download and usage by everyone?
Ok, anyone can create anything, that's one of Puppy's advantages and freedoms! But among with all these Independent repositories, there should also be "official" places to categorize and store all of them. And when i say all, i mean ALL, everything!!
Why should someone "google" for a package or search the whole forum? Wouldn't be easier if all working stuff were archived?
I wanted to create a site to do this, but I couldn't get web developement help from the community to assist in this. You can check the thread I made here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=68001
I still want to do this, but I need help getting it set up. I'm willing to cover the cost; but I can't code it on my own.
