Took me a dammn while to get wcpufreq to work on my i7 with intel_pstate
but here we are, it should work on any "iX" processor

wcpufreq

the intel_pstate driver was pretty straightforward on my machine:
- powersaver
- performance

and wcpufreq didn't liked that and insisted on using the old way of freq 
scaling. With this small set of changes it should actually work on the newer 
intel CPUs and won't try to load stupid shit like the amd_freq_sensitivity 
driver (duh)

wine staging + vulkan loader + vkd3d first stable release

This release is a working wine 5.6, commit 5e75310837e5ec77ebc361d689ea3279fa49ebac 
with custom patches:

    staging-44d1a45-localreverts.patch:
    -> changes to 0079-ntdll-server-Revert-to-old-implementation-of-hung-qu patch
    media_foundation_alpha.patch
    ->commented out the whole dlls/ntdll/debugtools.c patch since it's currently 
      applied by wine staging (0001-libwine-Add-process-specific-debug-channels.patch)
    fsync-to-latest-ntdll.patch
    -> server_select() now takes 5 arguments instead of 4

This release includes:
-wine + wine-staging
-game related patches (via proton-ge-custom/patches)
-vkd3d (wine dx12 implementation for vulkan)
-vulkan headers + spirv headers
-vulkan loader
-spirv tools
-gstreamer + plugins base + plugins good + deps


should work on any puppy or puppt based distro, but be aware i'm using
Glibc-2.31 and i believe wine ntdll may throw a fit on older versions.

wine staging + vulkan loader + vkd3d

Hey, i wrote a thing to compile wine staging with all the fancy vulkan patches and shit including fsync {if supported by your kernel} https://github.com/samedog/wine-builder

Bethesda Launcher linux helper script

This is a small "helper" script to handle files wine won't give access
to the Bethesda Launcher since it was stupid to change them manually
on every launcher update, game updateor game install.


Github: BethesdaLauncher_watcher

First rolling release, update 1.3.1

The first rolling release update is now live:

Changelog:
    - libgpg-error updated to 1.36
    - Deadbeef updated to 1.8.2
    - Addded Flatpak support (more info at https://flatpak.org/ and 
      https://flathub.org/home)
    - Puppy version bumped to 1.3.1

How to:
First, upgrade the finstall script by typing "finstall script update" do this 
2 times one for the finstall script then for it to download the rolling release 
scripts, after that is just a simple "finstall upgrade".

nex iso will be 2.0 i have no plans to upload minor version isos unless it's
mandatory

Flatpak !!

just made flatpak run, what a week! 

Rolling Releases for 1.3 (and beyond)

I've just finished testing the new rolling releases system and it finally works 
as i want it:

 - Updates are distributed as sfs files containing deltas and/or new files.
 - The rolling releases script processes incoming new files first, patch the 
   deltas on a temp folder and finally apply the patched files to the system.
 - If the delta patch is for a system-wide lib or application it first declares 
   a temp PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, makes a backup, copies the patched files into 
   the system an then redeclares the original PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, i know 
   this doesn't ensures 100% success and saying "nothing wrong is gonna happen" 
   is stupid but at least it makes it a little safer.

The idea for this system is to avoid uploading isos for minor or patch updates
(following the major.minor.patch versioning).

I've uploaded frankenpup isos since 2009 and tried really hard to make all of 
them worth uploading and with the rolling releases i'll upload isos ONLY for major 
releases or critical minor updates instead of when a base lib is added removed or 
updated or a software is removed or replaced making deployment easier and smoother.

This opens many new challenges for me since i'm no expert programmer but this 
small puplet has been my small plaything for years and i'm willing to take on the 
challenge and give it a try.

frankenpup dev road map 2: FINALLY!

Well i'm finally done with the libpng16 system wide reompilation process, everything is linked to it now and there is no trace of puppy's libpng12 and libpng14, it was a shitton of configure, autogens and libtoolize but now the system is cool and compiling anything graphics related is not a clusterfuck of passed args and code fuckery. Now i'm finishing the main sfs, striping it down a bit and doing some basic testing. Will try to upload the RC2 as soon as the system is stable enough.

frankenpup dev road map 1: FUCK THIS, I'M GOING TO SPACE

Bueno estoy teniendo un rato bastante desagradable recompilando un monton de libs y aplicaciones porque aguien penso "Linkiemos algunas libs y bins a versiones retrasadamente antiguas de libpng" (libpng12 y 14) y algun otro tarado le respondio "Eso suena increible!". No lo es... y no voy  aentrar en detalles ya que con un poquito de sentido comun se pueden dar cuenta de que a lo unico que lleva eso es a resultados de mierda. TL;DR:

Lista de paquetes recompilados (hasta ahora) para relinkear todo a libpng16:


- cairo-1.14.2
- doxygen-1.8.10
- dvdauthor-lipng16
- vepdfview-0.1.8
- fontconfig-2.11.1
- freetype-2.6

Me quiero bajar :(

frankenpup dev road map 1: FUCK THIS, I'M GOING TO SPACE

Well i'm having  really hard time recompiling a shitton of applications and libs because someone thought "Hey, let's link some bins and libs against some old as fuck versions of libpng :D" (libpng 12 & 14) and some other guy said "Yeah, that sounds completely awesome :DD". Well... it's not, and i'm not going into details here it just takes a little bit of common sense to know this can lead to really, REALLY fucked up results. TL;DR:

List of recompiled packages (so far) to amke everything link against libpng16:

- cairo-1.14.2
- doxygen-1.8.10
- dvdauthor-lipng16
- vepdfview-0.1.8

Frankenpup v0.5 RC-1, esta vez si es verdad

Bueno, despues de un año de haberlo anunciado al fin esta aquí el ISO de frankenpup v0.5 (Release Candidate):

Algunas características:

- Kernel 3.17.8 i686. (Voy a subir una versión con kernel 4.X... quisas).
- Casi todo recompilado desde fuente (Glibc, GCC, GTK 2 and GTK 3, OpenSSL, JMW, ffmpeg, pango, cairo, etc, etc, etc).
- El sfs devx ya no incluye Python, ahora se pueden instalar python 2 y 3 desde el "administrador de paquetes"
- Agregados scripts para instalar software:
  -> fpinstall: una mierda de administrador de paquetes CLI.
       - Con este se puede instalar el driver AMD de vídeo (RTFM).
  -> dbrowser: para escoger e instalar un navegador.
       - Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Midori, Palemoon  (por ahora).
- Nuevos íconos agregados para todos los MIME que existen, nuevos temas de GTK y JWM y estoy INTENTANDO hacer una puplet que se vea y funcione fluida.
- Estoy trabajando para mejorar el tiempo de carga y estoy  "optimizando" el script init (eliminando moludos antiguos como el de las disketteras y jodiendo con el código del init tabién) .
- DRI y mesa incluidos.

Frankenpup v0.5: This time for real.

Well after a year since i announced it here you guys have (finally) a frankenpup v0.5 ISO (Release Candidate):

Some features:

- Kernel 3.17.8 i686. (will offer a version with kernel 4.X... maybe).
- Recompiled almost everything from stable latest sources. (Glibc, GCC, GTK 2 and GTK 3, OpenSSL, JMW, ffmpeg, pango, cairo, etc, etc, etc).
- Python no more included on the devx sfs, instead you can install python 2 and 3 from the "package manager".
- Added custom scripts to install tested software:
  -> fpinstall: a really shitty CLI package manage.
       - You can install the AMD video drivers from this script (RTFM).
  -> dbrowser: to choose an install a tested broser.
       - Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Midori, Palemoon  (for now).
- New Icons added for every fucking mime type ever, new JWM and GTK themes and i'm TRYING to make a smooth good looking puplet.
- Working to make the boot time faster and "optimizing the init" (by disabling or removing old as fuck kernel modules for old as fuck storage media like fucking floppy and some code fuckery) .
- DRI out of the box, mesa and stuffs.

Frankenpup 0.5 updates, aiming for bullshit: CRUISE CONTROL

Well, well, well udev, udisks, PAM, dbus polkit, consolekit... look at this fucking mess... even harder on a puppylinux based distro... FUCK FUCK FUCK... at least udev and PAM works, dbus is 50% up but consolekit and polkit are some serious bullshit to make run on puppy full force: folders permissions, new users and groups... BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT.

It will eventually work, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

PHPmvs Beta 4.1

New update on my side project PHPmvs, now i'm trying to optimize functions and shit, array be arrays and i can't do shit about that, gonna try to write a better heuristic and MAAAAAAYBE blind sql test (without exploitation because takes a lot of time).
download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmvs/

More updates on frankenpup

Last night i did a brand new sfs, now frankenpup has xorg 1.15.1, better baselibs, filesystem sfs was reduced from 320Mb to 280Mb, recompiled fontconfig, Freetype, dropped razor-qt for LXQt because razor code was shit since teams merged together, i'll be adding more libs to make everything work smoothly as possible, most stuffs are from git so this build is pretty "bledding edge" on some specs, now i will struggle with mesa to get DRI (again) ad will release it as frankenpup BETA v0.5 in a couple of weeks.

Updates on frankenpup

WELL, WELL, WELL shit is going cool now, i have a fairly stable system, new Desktop Environment (Razor-qt because fuck you), and updates are going better than expected. The devx sfs also is doing well, it doesn't bitch (too much). Now regarding size the main sfs (frankenpup-v0.X.sfs) is almost 350Mb, and the devx is 320Mb, but I don't give two fucks about the size so GG.

Now some screenshots of the latest builds:
