The Woof that is Building Lucid Puppy 5.1
Posted: Wed 02 Jun 2010, 18:31
Woof is the future of Puppy; at least, that's the impression I get from Barry. It's not that hard; anyone with an extra 10GB of disk space and a broadband connection can set it up and follow and contribute to the development of Lucid Puppy 5.1. One's installation can be full or frugal--I started with full but use frugal now, and then use an extra disk that I have for the Woof space. One thing to note is that using Woof is not the only way to be involved with the development of Lucid Puppy 5.1, so if it doesn't appeal to you right now then please don't worry, and please stay involved!
Setting up Woof. Barry has already written the instructions -> http://bkhome.org/woof/
If you follow Barry's instructions, the Woof you create will be able to build Lucid Puppy 5.0.1. It will not be exact--in some ways it will be better because you will be using the latest Woof and the latest Ubuntu binaries (and that might create a glitch or two, but, hey, that's par for the course).
The first thing you would want to do after setting up Woof, would be to learn what the various files are there for.
Packages-Puppy-3-official, etc.
The list of packages on each of the repos. Updated by the Download db tab. If a package fails to download, there is some discrepancy between the list of packages and the actual files in the repo.
