Sabayon Woof
Sabayon Woof
Sabayon Linux has a package management system using binary packages called Entropy.
Main repository: http://pkg.sabayon.org
Alternate repository: http://mirror.umoss.org/sabayonlinux/entropy
Could these binary packages be used by Woof to make a Gentoo Puppy? If it could, then emerge might be possible, as Entropy's binary packages are supposed to be compatible.

Then we have to tell the developer of Simplux.
Have you tested it and like it? What is the pro et cons in your opinion.
The descriptions sounds very good
Cool that you too love lupu234. I only use Lupu234 now. that one works best for me now.
I have one Lupu234 version with wine and only use that one when listening to Spotify and one Lupu234 without wine and use that one 24/7 for regular surfing. Having them both in frugal install makes it fast to reboot into the other when I need to listen to Spotify. One are only allowed 20 hours for free each months.
I've added noscript to FF to feel a bit safer when visiting youtube with music that can be manipulated.

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Guys, Simplux is dead, long dead. They have apparently abandoned the project.
This is a proposal for a new Woof-based Puppy.
Normally, Woof can't build a Puppy from Gentoo binaries, because there are no binaries in Gentoo - everything is built from source, which was always kind of the point of Gentoo. But Sabayon has been quite successful in making a finished product out of Gentoo, and have compiled all of their packages into deb-like binary packages. These Woof theoretically could build something with.
If this is possible to build Puppy from Entropy using Woof, it would be far superior to Simplux because it would all be native Puppy. It would be just like Lucid Puppy, using Gentoo instead of Ubuntu.
I can use Woof to build a Puppy, but I've never made my own configuration files. For example, I'm already stuck at the reference to "Packages.txt" or "Packages.bz2" because the Entropy repository has a "Packages.db" database file. Is this incompatible? Are there workarounds?
Would anyone who is experienced in creating DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS and other Woof configuration files like to help?

You'll have to write some code that converts a package list to a PPM one. I did that with Slackware (and Salix OS) and Debian (or Ubuntu, any distro with APT) already for my own Woof-like thing.
I use Perl for that, I think it's the best choice - this language is supposed to be used for text processing and it's way faster than Bash, assuming you run the script once for the entire file.
At the moment I'm doing the first run of this crazy coding project ... let's hope it boots
