DebianDog - Wheezy

[saintless]

Hi William.
I think the only way to have symbolic link with relative path in XFE is adding script doing this in ~/.config/xfe/Scripts
Nice you test rox because I don't use it much.

Hi Toni,

As I'd like to include an updated youtube-get version (Simple YouTube downloader, small bash version) in the openbox iso's, I think it's best to have it first in the DD repositories, so can you please upload?.
Just a very small change; only in included m-play script: Message added that mpv is required for playing YouTube url (as mplayer unfortunately doesn't work anymore for that)
Didn't want to add dependency mpv, to keep it a small package, so just the message should be ok, IMO.

Edit: Question: When I reinstall frisbee and debdoginstallscripts (same version is kept after you changed) I see the change looking inside the scripts, I know of these packages, but are there possibly any others with same version number (not listed as upgradable) I need to reinstall?

Hi Fred.

New youtube-get uploaded in Wheezy and Jessie repository.

Edit: Question: When I reinstall frisbee and debdoginstallscripts (same version is kept after you changed) I see the change looking inside the scripts, I know of these packages, but are there possibly any others with same version number (not listed as upgradable) I need to reinstall?

I think no other packages for Jessie and Wheezy include changes without changing the version number.

to new created file resolv.conf in the chroot. (needed for network connection while running in chroot).
Bugfix2: In version 1.0.4 added option to choose location / or /tmp for working directory (in case you have only vfat or ntfs partitions).
Bugfix3: Important fix for downloading from Wheezy repository after stable Debian changed to Jessie.
Install this package: apt2sfs_1.0.5_i386.deb

Or using Synaptic or apt-get:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install makeswap

6. Portablesfs-loadsfs-fuse deb package updated to version 1.0.2
Small change in portablesfs script:

(changed in v 1.0.2: added (optional) choice to enter a command that will be executed directly when running created portable script, instead of showing 'Applications' menu)

20. Add gsu line in /usr/bin/ipinfo
21. For Jwm-Icewm version only - change icewm setup to read the files in /usr/share/icewm and /etc/X11/icewm instead from $home. Updating the menus from $home doesn't work properly in icewm from user account and it is the same in Debian Live. Remove icewm control center package because it works with $home files only. It is available in the repo if anyone likes to change the icewm setup and use icewm control center.

Hi William, Fred.
I just made registration and I will try to get more comfortable with github.
Registered as MintPup.
Saintless is already taken from someone else few years ago

Edit: Waiting for confirmation if it is OK to use github for this kind of projects first. No problem to upload iso images, debs and squashfs modules otherwise.
Just example setup without documentation yet till waiting for answer:

I'm not sure from who you'd like confirmation, from one of us?
Anyway I think it's nice to have github repository, although I'm not sure it can be used as a repository (using apt-get) and downloading a .deb is not straight forward , I found out that clicking on it and then choose 'raw' will download it.

Hi Fred.

I'm waiting for answer from github help service if it is ok to upload iso images and binary files as in this example repository.
Github is for source code hosting and has 1Gb limit for repository and 100Mb file size limit. Seems there is a workaround to upload iso images over 200Mb but I prefer to ask github support if it is OK first.

Edit: Just tested direct download link and adding at the end "?raw-true" works:
https://github.com/MintPup/MintPup-Trus ... b?raw=true

Toni

[fredx181]

Ah, I see now, Toni

I'm curious, what are you going to use it for, You think it's possible for use as real repository?
I've been searching for that possibility in the past.

I doubt that. The ftp hosting from Kazza and Smokey is the best solution and I'm glad we have it. But github is very easy to clone with "git clone <url>" command and use it as local repository from your hard drive. It is faster than downloading the packages folder with gftp.

For now just checking out the options pointed out by William here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 501#837501
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 293#838293
And trying to learn some git commands.

Yes, considering the popularity of git and github moreover nowadays, I feel it is useful anyway to become acquainted and familiar with it. I haven't done more with it myself since I first brought it up, but I plan to. I've gone a bit silent of late, because I'm still brushing up on my C as part of my very slow pursuit of the screencast programming project I have in mind. I'll no doubt use github for that work once I get more deeply into it - I wasn't sure I'd bother but I expect to produce some version of that sooner or later now, though whether it will prove good or useful is as yet an unknown! Note that at the present time, organisation DebianDog on github is currently owned by my github username 'mcewanw' as its administrator so I guess I want MintPup username to own DebianDog github organisation. So problem is how to effect the transfer without messing up the other organisations I currently admin on github under my mcewanw github username.

William

EDIT: Toni, I've hopefully managed to send you an invitation (as github member MintPup) to join 'DebianDog' organization team on github with Owner rights. I believe, after that, I should be able to transfer ownership of that organization to you, simply by giving up ownership rights myself, but I'm not sure how to do all that yet. I want to transfer ownership to you, since that makes more sense in terms of longterm administration of that account, so hopefully can manage that easily. Unfortunately, I'm already rusty on github admin (and didn't know much about it in the first case) but no doubt the change can be effected eventually with your help and cooperation. But from what I read, I think that once you accept the invitation to joint that team with 'Owner' rights I just need to (temporarily at least) leave the organisation (as github member mcewanw) though maybe I'd first need to change the owner email address to your own (that of github member MintPup) since that is how github know you.

Hi William.
Invitation accepted but I'm not sure how and when I will be able to use it. I know almost nothing about github yet and maybe it will need more than I can take.

Oh well, at least we have taken some first steps!

Hi Toni,

As promised, here's the slim custom deb package for wheezy:
Works well for me, tested only on openbox version though.

https://googledrive.com/host/0ByBgCDlZZ ... y_i386.deb

Can you add it to the DD wheezy repository and add message about login manager for openbox recommended on the DD wheezy first page,just like you did the same for Jessie? Thanks!

Fred

[saintless]

Fixes post information updated:

2. Jwm version has xdm login manager included but it doesn't work well in OpenBox. In OpenBox version you can install this slim package. You can stop/start it from System -> Start/Stop Slim display-manager. More information read here. Available also in debiandog-repository:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install slim
