The original Arch Puppy 007
story
Hmm, why is stifiling asking all the questions, can't we hear him/her tell his/her story, too?

Wow, how did I miss that post?
I was involved with archpup right from the beginning but I tried to stay away from "Archpup wars" all this time, even when cheep shots were taken at me, because I thought that any kind of "contribution" would further fuel this unnecessary mess.
Hopefully now is cool enough so I can write few words (and re-ignite it )
First of all I'm sorry that Mick got into this. I only saw his "famous" post after the ball had started rolling and too late to do anything about it. But Mick is a big boy.
I was also sorry to see simargl{8}'s reaction and his totally unfounded attack to Mick and everybody else with an "us vs them" mentality.
It could be contributed to cultural differences, language problems, unfulfilled expectations (about Archpup's acceptance) or anything else, but very hard to justify just the same.
Regarding my contribution in "igniting" this, I just left Archpup for very clear reasons
At that point I also deleted my modest code contributions (the Archpup-specific bit) because it was clear to me that were not in Archpup's road map, and saw no reason to keep trying.
From the beginning I believed
In spite os some private calls to take over/fork the project, I had no wish to do that, so in a true OSS style , I just moved on.
Thankfully, it would appear that everybody else is doing the same at last.

and certainly unhappy of the way things were going.if you keep ignoring functionality and keep insulting puppy users, archpup may end up your personal distro.
Good luck.

From the beginning I believed
I admit I was trying to get it more puppy-like with little success, no matter how explicit I tried to be.that Archpup has no resemblance to puppy outside the initrd and a couple of scripts

By The Way - can anyone sum up the functional differences between Pacman and PPM please? thanks!
We've all wondered about it. And deep down, I guess we all knew it would happen one day: Pelo the 2nd has been born, me thinks. Haha, Greengeek!
Just curious, I assume you tried Ally, yes? When we look through Ally's incredible repo, and he doesn't have it, is there another. similar place for us (on the Net) to look for stuff like this? Are there are any small versions of Ally's out there? A list of sites somewhere maybe? Here on murga perhaps??

these ones ?
these ones ? Viva Greengeek ! Do as you like.
I Think here-below versions are not old enough to be those you are looking for..

we have over 4000 pups on the archive and most repositories mirrored
nearly 2TB of data is up so peoples have a poke about, I confess to not indexing as well I could have but my health continues to decline and it's starting to affect the amount of time I can apply to the project
it is better when you have a file name to use google to seach from outside archive.org
however, apup in the archive search found it simply enough

Hi Ally,
I just wanted to send positive thoughts and good wishes for you for whatever is happening with your health. I hope that the decline either slows down in its progress or even better, that it somehow disappears. Over 4000 pups in the repo?? Wow. I don't know any other way to say this other than this way: you're a treasure to us all here, to murga overall and to all pup & pup-related OS builders & posters here. May the fortune of better health come your way.
Sorry to hear about the health. Simply wish to say I thank you for your years of collating pups and archiving them for prosperity. I hope that some how your health improves. I also wish you postive and good wishes.ally wrote:we have over 4000 pups on the archive and most repositories mirrored
