UPDATE: December 7, 2012
This is new and I think final update for version 1204.
Changes in 1204-2:
- udev upgraded to version 175, which should fix problems with loading
firmware modules. (Thanks mavrothal for help with compiling and testing
udev package for this release)
- Fixed SFS file association, and it's now possible to load SFS modules
simply by clicking on them. For info about tested SFS files see here
- Added packer so you can search and install packages from Arch User Repository (AUR).
Before you can use packer it is necessary to run this: update-ca-certificates
- Geany upgraded to latest git-nightly.
- Added packages in arch-base (krb5, libtasn1, p11-kit) required by cups.
- New wallpaper...
- See how it works - ArchPup review. Thanks Icyos!
Changes in version 1204-1:
- New graphical dialogs for creating savefile and changing wallpaper.
- Kernel is upgraded to version 3.6.8, and compiled with same config as
in Puppy precise, except KMS that was disabled to prevent screen flicker during boot.
- Added pet2sfs script which converts all pet packages in current directory
to SFS module. Second argument you pass will be name of created SFS file,
e.g. pet2sfs games, will extract pet packages and create games.sfs.
- Support for loading 20 additional SFS modules.
- Pwireless2, wireless_tools, wpa_supplicant for connecting to wireless networks.
