Hey @8Geee the torrent file on archive.org fails when I load it into my rtorrent instance, the tracker returns that the torrent is not valid or authorized on that tracker. Can you double-check? Was successfully able to download it by hand but wanted to get the torrented archive.

I had planned to add a checkbox but In order to not break stuff I just had it make both - if you don't have xz and tar >1.21 you will only get a pet and an error - otherwise you will get both pet and pxt the infobox is convenient for messages that you don't want to get in the way Xdialog --infobox ...

gzipped tarballs - I may download the latest gzip and see if it supports leaving the existing file in place since some tar.gz files (specifically the ones for SDL and friends) are not recognized by tar for whatever reason (this is why I decided to add plain tar support in the first place) That's re...

Okay, changed dir2pxt in the final section (where it builds pets) to dir2pet2 -- it built, but gave the same message (/.pet created) -- however it VERY QUICKLY made that box go away (I didn't click anything) and then exited with the whole "we're done" message. However it DID create a pet -...

Oops, run through gave me a problem...

It gave me a message "/.pet created".

And no SDL pet. <G> Trying again but I think there may be errors in adoptapet...

EDIT: I have a 0 Byte pxt file! That help?

Alright, from reviewing the code, so far I have the following comments... In the EXTENSIONS case statement, at one point we check if it's "tar" (the case), then we check if it's "tar" (the if) and if so, we make it "tar"... the if statement is really only necessary to c...

New GUI for making pet packages for the new format pet.specs
tweaks to default options

Wicked. I can't wait to play!

I figured that was the case. I was MORE impressed by the fact that it found out the license for SDL was LGPL -- but also that it was LGPL 2.1 -- and I couldn't find the 2.1 designator ANYWHERE in source files or text files anywhere. So I don't know HOW it knew the LGPL version number. Did it just gu...

Oh, techno, once you're ready the pcomp_script can be taken out of debug by removing the extra gtkdialog3 calls (they both call the invalid package message, around the make and make install and all those commands) - at this point I'm not really pushing a huge amount of my time into looking at this t...

Gedrean - I initially just modified dir2pet to use basic xdialogs in place of the command line sections, but felt that it was still too annoying. I am currently working on combining the dir2pet and petspecs programs into one GUI with mouseover descriptions for each field. I just haven't had a lot o...

Kay, problem solved. By default, the directory "spot" in root is write only by root, not by spot. Fixed to write by everyone. I can now has play game and save!!

Problem - when running freeciv or server it runs as spot, which is fine -- but it cannot save, as presumably spot does not have the right permissions to write to wherever the savegame files are going.

Any idea how to fix?

I thinky you hit it right with your response to me via email -that the file /etc/puppyversion would always be found on Puppy -at least on any later versions. Of course, some derivatives might remove this file, but I kinda doubt it as it is probably used by various other Puppy tools. I simply had mi...

Okay, so in development of software that is ported from other sources, I've been playing around with amigo's src2pkg and trying to figure out a question. Normally, when src2pkg is setup, it creates some binaries in its own directories. These are locally-compiled tools (so as to optimize them for the...

Now, now, let's not fuss. See, when I get to be prolific enough with Puppy Development (and masochistic enough), I'll take over as "BV" for 6.7 or whatever version, and you'll have 50 CALCULATORS! HAHAHAHA! You thought 5 was extravagant?!?! This thing'll need a Blu-Ray disc for all the dam...

Techno, in case you didn't get it earlier, let me know when you're done with dump2pet and dir2pet updates and cleanups so they behave nice. I'll finish up with pcompile to 0.2.0 for making the interface and all that work nice. Hopefully the comments should make things work well. After that I'm looki...

The backup location is set with the --root option to sentry(use --backup=yes to turn the feature on), or you can do it like this: export INSTW_ROOTPATH=/path/to/backups # turn the backup feature on export INSTW_BACKUP=1 just give those two command in the terminal where you are running from, before ...

You can set the backup area on the command line -either with senntry or with installwatch(I mean the later versions). In src2pkg I do it all through the environmental variables setting them directly. You'll find that using the backup function gets pretty complicated as you have to parse file lists ...

Since WHEN is there a gtkdialog4?

Patriot; I tried your suggestion and couldn`t get it to work. No surprise, most of these I couldn`t get to work for awhile. I didn`t know <text> could take an <input> tag, I thought it only took <label>. I seem to recall I tried that and it didn`t like it, maybe gtkDialog3 does it. If so... Maybe t...
