ok, as I upgraded Puppy 3, I had to add a lot of new libs.
I made a pack of them.
They are sorted by name.
All from slackware, sometimes with slight changes.
You will need not all.
Especially try to avoid to use glibc, glib and Gtk2.
I think Puppy 4 might be up to date already, at least it also uses a version of Gtk 2.12.
Backup your savefile often, that is a MUST when updating system-libraries!
gsb-2.22.1-baselibs2.tar.gz
gsb-2.22.1-baselibs.tar.gz
These cannot be "installed", you must copy what you need with a filemanager.
I recommend to use a filemanager with 2 panes like
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/File_Managers ... 0.5.91.pup
or:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/File_Managers ... -12-22.pup
(don't know, if they work in Puppy 4, there also might be newer versions in the forum).
So use only those libs, where Puppy 4 complains about missing libraries.
I think important is to use the two "shadow" packs.
They have commands to add users/groups.
And dbus, hal, udev.
I add an archive "etc.tar.gz". Copy all files to your Puppy, they start the daemons.
I also add "etc-users.tar.gz". Do NOT copy the 4 files in it:
group
gshadow
passwd
shadow
Instead, compare them with your existing files, and add the lines that miss.
I think you will not need the last one, but not sure...
packages-midi.tar.gz
Some apps might need Python.
It has Python, Compiz and DRI-drivers for Xorg 7.2.
As Puppy 4 has Xorg 7.3, do not use the DRI files!
I just added them, to have a complete package of my addons online.
ftp://ks301128.kimsufi.com/Muppy0084/Al ... -to-build/
The packages reflect the current state I have here, so they are somewhere between Alpha08 and beta 01 (coming this week).
